Growing up i loved it when Don Rickles would be scheduled on the Tonight Show lineup. He had a quick wit that surpassed those around him and when he went off into his wild mental/verbal assualts he was in a zone all his own. No one could lovingly cut people to shreds like Rickles. He seemed hateful and yet funny at the same time but there was always something special that came through from him that made you love him. He forced you to laugh at your own self no matter what background you came from and taught us all that humor and laughter is universal and the truth may hurt but laughter doeth good like a medicine. His gift was unique and only Robin Williams can hang with him when it comes to the art of fast verbal and mental connection and still be outrageous. This DVD captures some of that gift that he had but i would loved to have seen more of his Vegas show act and more clips of the classic Rickles on different talk shows of yesteryear but overall worth buying. NO one can do this kind of comedy like Rickles. This DVD makes you long for the good ole days of Johhny Carson and Las Vegas before it became a special effect freak show of trick-lighted counterfeit cardboard cutouts (see Eiffel Tower or not). Bring back the real Vegas where it was all about talented entertainers without the tricks.

Don Rickles has been a favorite of mine for decades. But, in this program, I could NOT believe the obscene language coming out of his mouth. At 82 years old, I think he should be cleaning up his act a little. He was HILARIOUS in many TV specials including the Dean Martin Roasts, and countless varitey shows.
If this is a sample of how he conducts himself in modern "live" shows, then I want no part of it. I wish they WOULD release a compilation of his older (and much cleaner) performances.

If you like Don Rickles or would like to learn more about him , get this 2 DVD set. There are some funny moments from Rickles' shows , the great cigarette box incident with Johnny Carson and stories from Rickles' childhood and time in the Navy in WW2. The real treasure here is the interviews with stars who have worked with him over the years. Many wonderful anecdotes about the Copacabana , the tough nightclub scene and the many people Rickles worked with and became friends with over the years. The second bonus dvd has great short commentaries and stories by many great stars. This is as much about show business history as it is about Rickles . Get it while you still can !!

Classic Hollywood Lives (Massachusetts)
John Landis has done a brilliant job of capturing the essence of the inimitable Don Rickles; the "hockey pucks" who criticize the film as veering from the average (and predictable) documentary format have completely missed the point. A unique talent deserves a unique showcase, and Landis has created a film which not only appropriately honors Rickles' extraordinary talent, humor and intelligence, but also provides a solid hour-and-a-half of near non-stop hilarity. By the time the end credits roll, your face will ache from smiling and laughing - yet you'll be hard-pressed to explain just exactly what was so funny. That's the genius of Don Rickles - his hysterical insult riffs come so fast and furious that it's impossible to explain what exactly makes the magic. But why dissect it? Just sit back and enjoy the highly-crafted work of one of the greatest comics of all time - captured in a feel-good movie by a thoughtful (if unconvnetional) documentarian...I guarantee you'll laugh your head off!
