Movie Reviews
Good 'ol Victor
Z. MACKAY | Kingwood, TX United States | 04/29/2003

"Can't get enough of him. He's very entertaining and the good thing is his humor isn't vulgar whatsoever. If you haven't seen his routine, then you need to. Watch it over a couple times you might miss some of those subtle jokes."
Victor Borge Birthday Gala
Krzysztof Polakowski | USA | 03/17/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is a well deserved tribute to
Victor Borge who is no longer with us.
Many of his jokes and stories presented are
known from previous recordings, what is new
is his great pianistics, which was quite often
overlooked and underestimated. There is more of it
on this disc. He remains very unique in his
attempts to combine great music pieces with
unparalelled humor and grace. Joy of life and
unusual sense of humor emanates from him
in every stage if his long life. This album is
a must for everyone who ejoyed his performances
Dr. Krzysztof Polakowski"
Great Victor as always, but the dvd itself...

"He's hillarious. 5 stars.
He's extremely talented. 5 stars.
And he's kept most of his hair throughout the years. 4 stars.
The only issue I have is with the DVD itself. I remember watching this on tv, ohhh, roughly 15 years ago. We recorded it on VHS (that's a rectangular plastic device invented back in the stone ages for you younger kids). There were routines he did as well as other performances that are not included with this dvd, which is really too bad. For the first time ever I have bought a dvd that has less than what was shown on tv."
It's all good

"You need to watch Victor Borge A few times in your life. The act remains pretty unchanged throughout his career, but was so brilliant the first time, that you need to watch it if you haven't before.
I bought this because my son had not seen him before and watching it with him made me remember how fun it was. We laughed and laughed through the video.
So in a nutshell, see it if you haven't before. You will love it, or better yet get it for someone you know hasn't seen it. It's a classic."
A real birthday treat

"aren't we lucky to be able to buy DVD's to keep memories fresh that we did have such wonderful artists and this is TERRIFIC with so many guest stars, and I have to be honest, I have shown this to many a friend at home
who is a bit depressed - Victor Borge cerrtainly manages to help one forget for a while our daily problems, and feel MUCH better for having had the privilege that such people existed! Very highly recommendable!"
