Dick Van Dyke, Dorothy Provine, Edward G. Robinson

Whodunnit? That's the question Jack Albany hopes to expose in Disney's 1968 madcap comedy Never a Dull Moment, starring Dick Van Dyke. Albany, a struggling actor in New York, is mistaken for in...( read more  read more... )famous West Coast gangster Ace Williams and whisked to the mansion of mob boss Leo Smooth to be hired as lead mobster in an art museum robbery. Joining the company of a motley group of operators, Albany realizes that his only chances for survival depend on performing the acting job of his life: impersonating a dangerous killer. Things get dicey when the real Ace Williams shows up, since one of this pair of aces is about to be discarded as a joker. Albany's only hope for escape is to convince an innocent art teacher (Dorothy Provine) to become his ally. Combining Van Dyke's physical comedy with a stellar supporting cast (Henry Silva, Slim Pickens, and Jack Elam) make this lesser-known Disney film a delightful family jaunt.

    It's definitely not one of more well-known Disney flicks, but it's a nice little comedy. Dick Van Dyke is perfect in his role.

    This is a modest little Disney comedy that features Dick Van Dyke and Edward G. Robinson. It doesn't try to deliver ambitious belly-laughs, but delivers a happy episode that moves quickly along.

    As I watched this unfold, all I could say was "OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!" I wish I could have been there to ease his pain, like Dorothy Provine.
