Film Review V: Cerise Narcissus

Synopsis: High on a hill was a lonely goatherd,lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo. Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd. Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo. Folks in a town that was quite remote heard: lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo. Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard: lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo.

Then the children come in with: O ho lay dee odl lee o, o ho lay dee odl ay. O ho lay dee odl lee o, lay dee odl lee o lay.

Back to the nun, now - Prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard:Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo. Men on a road with a load to tote heard: lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo.

The kids again: Men in the midst of a table d'hote heard: lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo

Enter man in shorts astride a donkey! Rushes around yelling! Nun gives him the glad eye, waits for kids to clear off and then dumps herself over the cliff.

End song: Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo Ummm ummm . . . Odl lay ee odl lay ee. Odl lay hee hee odl lay hee hee Odl lay ee . . .. .Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hoo hoo, HOO!

Col's commentary: I doubt there has ever been a film of such stirring eroticism - yodelling in the valley of love, indeed - without nazis. Avoid at all costs. Nine out of ten.

A friendly word of advice: take more water with it.

Kot bettle plack.

Rearrange these familiar but cunningly obscurantified words into a well-known phrase and stuff them up your pipe.

If you still smoked one.
