Actor-singer-songwriter Michael McKean (ex-Laverne & Shirley, Better Call Saul) co-wrote 2003's "A Kiss at The End of The Rainbow" with actress-wife Annette O'Toole (ex-Smallville) for pal Christopher Guest's "A Mighty Wind". Sung by SCTV alums Eugene Levy & Catherine O'Hara in the movie, "Rainbow" gets an acoustic workout, sung by O'Toole & McKean this time, on the online series, Employee of The Month.
McKean & Guest and Spinal Tap partner Harry Shearer (The Simpsons) appeared in the movie as The Folksmen. Methinks I need to see this movie.
I've seen it on cable a few years back and a pretty good film. You can appreciate it even more if you're a fan of the classic folk groups of the late 50s and 60s.
ReplyDeleteNot to forget:
ReplyDelete"A Kiss At The End Of The Rainbow" was nominated for an Oscar as Best Song.
On the Oscar telecast, Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara sang the song - in character as Mitch & Mickey.
They got the biggest hand of all the nominees - but the song didn't win.
I'll keep an eye out for the DVD. Should've gone to the local art house when it was in first run.....
