Waiting for guffman deleted scenes

An aspiring director and the marginally talented amateur cast of a hokey small-town Missouri musical production go overboard when they learn that someone from Broadway will be in attendance. The commentary by Guest and Levy is more informative than funny. I got the impression that they were distracted from the commentary by the brilliance of certain scenes in the movie. The extra scenes , however, were hilarious.


There is at least one rough cut of the film in circulation among fans of Guffman. Waiting for Guffman was shot from a bare-bones script and the actors were encouraged to improvise most of the dialogue.

It features an expanded performance of Re White and Blaine, including the musical number This Bulging River, as well as dozens of alternate takes, as well as the exclusion of many scenes in the finished film, which were shot after this first rought cut was made. Guffman is a must for fans of off-beat improvisational comedy, for lovers of the theatre, and for anyone who has ever suffered through a truly bad amateur community play. As a low-budget film, Guffman came with restrictions from the source, but the disc replicated it accurately. Sharpness tended to be adequate but not great. Though much of the film offered reasonable accuracy, the image never became especially precise.


The movie opens with an introduction from its residents about the history of Blaine and moves on to the start of the show, from casting to rehearsals to the real thing. Corky, the director, hopes to have his masterpiece on Broadway and invites scouts out to see the show. I had to buy this movie since it was my 1st movie extra part.


I also was in Courage Under Fire.

And there, my friends, is where you will find my candidate for the single greatest deleted scene of all time. Whenever I think of Corky St. Clair, I can’t help but laugh. If you have never seen it, please check this one out.


This Blu-Ray includes the supplements that were included on the previous DVD release. As intende the image has a low budget, soft look and that enhances the documentary nature of the movie, of course. The print used looks clean however, with minimal debris to be seen and on the whole, this is a terrific visual presentation. I love the DVD deleted scenes with songs taken out from the show within the show.


Christopher Guest’s “Corky St. I believe this one is the best of the trio of Guffman , Best In Show, and Mighty Wind. Libby: My name is Libby Mae Brown and this is my monologue. In the monologue, a woman lectures her brother, now insane and dying, on the evils he had previously perpetrated against her.

Get the scoop on all DVD releases at Movies. Additional Scenes (33:52) This is a collection of fourteen different scenes that were deleted from the film for various reasons. The scenes are presented at an aspect ratio of 1.

Griggs incorporated three deleted scenes. This is because whenever Guest would show off his moves, Levy would laugh so hard that they would have to cut and wait for him to stop laughing before doing another take. Cast and characters include: Corky St. From the creators of This is Spinal Tap comes this hilarious spoof of community theater.


The director of an amateur theater troupe tries to lure a New York theater critic to Blaine, Missouri to see their show-an with luck, help them make it to Broadway.
