The Great Muppet Caper
Muppet movies have traditionally been the preferred
alternative to The Hollywood Squares
for stars on the wane, and as such they makes for classic cinema, as can be
seen in today's Brattle Theatre tripleheader. Dom DeLuise and Orson Welles
co-star with Kermit the Frog in The Muppet Movie (1978); John Cleese and Diana Rigg share the screen with Miss
Piggy in The Great Muppet Caper
(1981); and Joan Rivers and Liza Minnelli compare styling tips with Fozzie
Bear in The Muppets Take Manhattan
(1984). If only Paul Lynde had done the same. It's Muppet mayhem at
