The Funniest Movie You Never Saw

02/23/24 • 49 min

Why should you watch Eli Wallach and Anne Jackson in 1967's long-lost-comic gem The Tiger Makes Out?
The surprise reason: After 50 years when you couldn't watch it anywhere, we just discovered that you can stream it for free.
But wait! That's just a start. Before you dive into this satire from another era – which can be a challenge – let us give you a prep session, with help from our special guest: Katherine Wallach, daughter of Eli and Anne.
Katherine shares the back story of The Tiger Makes Out, and her parents' wondrous performances in it. Then she talks about her family life, which included starring with her parents on Broadway, and a babysitter named Marilyn Monroe.
We also point you to the highlights of The Tiger Makes Out, including a cameo by Dustin Hoffman, an unhinged performance by Charles Nelson Reilly, and comic twists hiding in every single performance and every tiny detail of the set.
Now, after decades of frustration when I couldn't share my favorite movie, everyone can watch it -- including our special guest Walker Stevenson, a friend who has never agreed with me about any movie. Can I transform Walker into a fan ofThe Tiger Makes Out? Or will he talk me into tossing my treasures that relate to the movie? Um, don't bet on either of those.

Michael Small:
In this episode of I Couldn't Throw It Out, we're gonna share something that was almost impossible for you to see for 50 years. And even today, almost no one knows about it. It's a movie, and in my opinion, it's the funniest movie that you've never seen. But before you get the title and start streaming, you just might wanna hear a little bit more about it. So keep listening...
