My latest post was about the first Saturday Night Live movie. While this was not a skit from SNL, the writing was certainly inspired by that humor. Also starring SNL regulars Chevy Chase and Bill Murray, it's an Upstairs/Downstairs look at a country club inspired by Brian Doyle- Murray's caddying for the Chick Evans Scholarship in Chicago back in the 60s and 70s.
Done in the pre VHS days it became a staple on HBO and is regularly quoted on every golf course in the world today. Also the subject of an interesting book, again quoting the movie's famous line, A Cinderella Story.
Written by Doug Kenney, also of National Lampoon's Animal House fame, which was also the subject of a movie about this movie, A Futile and Stupid Gesture. Hear it in the Animal House clip.
