“Maudlin’s Eleven”

Since the recent inclusion of an SCTV clip went over so well (the troupe really had the old Vegas sensibility down cold), another S&G film festival seemed in order. In this case, it’s the complete Maudlin’s Eleven. For some bizarre reason, the second half of this filmlet played in tight rotation in syndication but Part One was rarer than hen’s teeth … so much so that certain SCTV fans wondered if the first part even existed. Thanks to the marvel of YouTube, S&G can now present the integral, satiric delight that is Maudlin’s Eleven. John Candy‘s sycophantic/miserable “laugh” as William B. Williams is a particular thing of beauty.
