The Great Muppet Caper**
GB 1981. ITC. 97m.
Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear are twin brother detectives(!) on the trail of jewel thieves to London.
Adept mixture of musical spoof of the crime caper combined with Muppet tomfoolery in a style reminiscent of the Road movies, with in-jokes and guest stars aplenty, only some of whom don't look too upstaged. Good, nonsensical fun.
Written by: Tom Patchett, Jay Tarses, Jerry Juhl, Jack Rose.
Producers: David Lazer, Frank Oz.
Director: Jim Henson.
Starring: Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, Diana Rigg, Charles Grodin, Jack Warden, Robert Morley, John Cleese, Joan Sanderson, Peter Falk, Peter Ustinov.
Photography: Oswald Morris.
Music: Joe Raposo.
