"Life
is an obscure hobo, bumming a ride on the omnibus of art." The
wit and wisdom of writer Charles B. Griffith, Roger Corman's
hipper-than-thou alter-ego, is in even fuller flower here than in his
classic followup, "Little Shop of Horrors", aided
immeasurably by Dick Miller's indelible performance as psychotic
busboy Walter Paisley. Update:
Chuck passed away the week of 9/26/07 at the age of 77, leaving a
legacy of brilliantly off-center, if unjustly underappreciated,
satirical comedy.
