About Steve Martin: Comedy Is Not Pretty
Steve Martin's second NBC special was made up entirely of sketches. Highlights include: Marty Robbins' "El Paso" with monkeys; "The Death Of Socrates"; and "Bizarre Oddities Of The World."
Directed by Joseph Cates, Steve Martin: Comedy Is Not Pretty leans on a strong ensemble — Steve Martin, Marty Allen, Richard Deacon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1980.
