The Black Bird on dvd
Saw this in the theater when it came out. It is one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. There’s nothing politically incorrect in my view. But then I don’t belong to this ignorant generation. I’m 76 years old. If you’re looking for an awesome movie, you will love this one. Thanks to Zeus for putting it on dvd.

A mystery within a mystery
Not the sharpest film quality. Would have paid more for a traditional disk package with poster art. Film provided some answers to my speculations about The Maltese Falcon.

Fianlly got it on DVD!
I know The Black Bird is considered "horribly" politically incorrect nowadays, but I rate it as one of the funniest parodies of another movie ("The Maltese Falcon" I've seen. The humor is so close to Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles". The funniest schtick is that old car that keeps rolling down a hill no matter how Sam turns the wheels. Now that I have it on DVD, it's even more fun to see this 70s movie so clearly. Thank you, Zeus.

Classic comedy
This movie is a spoof on the Maltese Falcon. We had it on tape and tried to find it on DVD as we are replacing all our tapes. We were delighted to find it on Zeus.
