Marty Feldman: What Do I Spy With My Little Eye?

About This Movie

Marty Feldman: What Do I Spy With My Little Eye? presents a raw look at Feldman's life as he gears up for a UK tour. The tone is intimate, letting us in on casual conversations with his wife Lauretta, and there’s this underlying warmth that contrasts with the chaos of his comedic persona. He reminisces about his childhood and shares his admiration for Buster Keaton, which adds a layer of nostalgia that's quite palpable. The pacing feels organic, almost like a slice-of-life documentary, and it doesn’t rush through the personal bits that matter. What’s distinctive is how it captures the spirit of a man caught between the worlds of comedy and personal life, all while preparing for a significant leap to Hollywood.

This film is somewhat obscure, having not been widely distributed on any mainstream formats, which adds to its collector appeal. It’s primarily available on DVD in limited releases, and those are increasingly hard to find, making it a fascinating piece for fans of documentary and comedy alike. Collectors appreciate the candid nature of the film and its exploration of Feldman's creative process, which stands out against the backdrop of his more conventional comedic works.
