Synopsis
Actually it's "Ben Hur, Parts I through IV" and it dominates this classic episode.
John Candy
"channels" Curly Howard of
The Three Stooges
in his portrayal of
Ben Hur
, with
Harold Ramis
as Hur's treacherous childhood friend Mazzola, and
Catherine O'Hara
and
Andrea Martin
as the hero's mother and sister, who are transformed into lepers -- or is it leopards? And don't forget the Son of God, who quenches the thirst of the enslaved Ben Hur with a dry martini. Before this elongated movie parody reaches its incongruous climax with "The Ballad of Davy Crockett," the viewer is treated to a commercial for the new Bill and Mike dolls (They've just come out of the closet for you!), and the wacky celebrity quiz show "Masquerade Funeral." ~ All Movie Guide
