If you are a fan of classic Steve Martin humor, and you loved “The Jerk“, then like me, you probably loved this Movie also!
The Man with Two Brains was released in 1983.
The film starred:
Steve Martin – Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr
Kathleen Turner – Dolores Benedict
David Warner – Dr. Alfed Necessiter
Merv Griffin – Elevator Killer
Sissy Spacek – Voice of the Brain, Anne Uumellmahaye
The film was directed by Carl Reiner, who had previously directed Steve Martin in “The Jerk” and “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid“. They would later make “All of Me” together as well.
To me, this ranks right up there with “The Jerk” as far as being the funniest of Martin’s films.
This was Kathleen Turner’s second big role, right after he scorching debut in “Body Heat“. After “The Man with Two Brains” she went on to star in “Romancing the Stone” with Michael Douglas.
Steve Martin’s next films would be the 1984 releases “All of Me” and “The Lonely Guy“.
