Humor of the late 1970's could not be better typified than by
Shelley Berman; dry, articulate, sarcastic and sometimes poignant.
Filmed at the Playboy Club in Chicago and presented on HBO, he presents some of his best known routines such as, The Department Store, The Mechanical Heart, Language Barrier and Little Embarrassing Moments, plus a moving tribute to his father.
Best known today as Larry David's father on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm, Berman's comedic timing cannot be surpassed.
