The World's Greatest Lover
Go ahead - laugh!
Comedy superstar Gene Wilder goes from geek to sheik in this side-splitting story of one man's quest to become The World's Greatest Lover.
When frustrated movie studio mogul Adolph Zitz (Dom DeLuise) announces a talent search for a romantic leading man to rival the great Rudolph Valentino, thousands of hopefuls descend upon Hollywood - including Rudy Valentine (Wilder), a neurotic baker from Milwaukee who knows as little about romance as he does about acting. But when his wife, Annie (Carol Kane), leaves him for the real Valentino, Rudy goes to outrageous (and hilarious) lengths to win the role of a lifetime... and win back the love of his life.

I've always loved this movie. Even if you've never seen an old Valentino flick, it won't keep you from thoroughly enjoying this movie!
Before you watch it, I highly suggest zipping an old Rudolph Valentino movie or two, as you'll get some of the more subtle jokes (What, Gene Wilder can be subtle? Believe it!)
Every actor in this movie is perfectly picked for their role. Gotta love Dom Deluise, in anything he does!
If you're a fan of underdog stories, slapstick comedy, or old Valentino movies, you MUST see this movie!
