On Location: Myron Cohen

About This Movie

So, 'On Location: Myron Cohen' is quite the gem if you appreciate classic comedy and storytelling. Myron Cohen has this remarkable knack for dialects—funny how he can embody so many characters with just his voice and expressions. The film has this laid-back, intimate feel, almost like you're just hanging out at a club with him rather than watching a performance. And Steve Allen's hosting adds a nice touch, keeping the vibe light. It’s not just a showcase of gags; there’s a craft to the pacing that really highlights Cohen’s talent as a storyteller. It survives on its charm rather than flashy production, making it distinct in a sea of louder acts from the era.

This film is a bit of a rarity in collector circles, often overshadowed by bigger productions of its time. It was released on home video, but finding it in good condition can be a challenge, as it didn't have a wide distribution. Interest in Myron Cohen has been seeing a slight resurgence, so collectors are starting to pay more attention to this title. The blend of stand-up and storytelling in a more personal setting offers a unique perspective that stands apart from conventional comedy films.
