TCM Classic Film Festival 2013: Red Carpet Interviews

Robert Hays was joined by Jim Abrahams and David Zucker for a sold out screening of Airplane! at the Egyptian Theatre on Saturday.

Funniest film of all time?

Robert Hays: The funniest film of all time? There are a few.

I’ve heard you mention the Marx Brothers.

RH: A Night at the Opera is my favorite Marx Brothers, even though they are all great, but A Night at the Opera is the best for me. Also It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

Are you gonna get to see it at the Cinerama Dome on Sunday?

RH: I’m gonna try. I love that film. But, Airplane! to me, I mean, Jerry and David [Zucker], it was just phenomenal what they did. I was so lucky to be a part of it.
