I strongly second Richard's endorsement of this DVD. The Gary Moore Show with Gary doing his Buster Keaton skit was a big hit at our weekly Movie Night this past week. You can also really see where the show was a great training ground for Carol Burnett. She still praises it strongly to this day. Her...

William H. Cook

Re: Errol Flynn does the "Mirror Routine"
More recently (1999) the bit with the mirror was done in a two-part sixth season episode of The X-Files where Mulder's mind changes bodies with another person.
