Review of Wait for Your Laugh (2017) by Larry S — 21 Sep 2018

Wonderful documentary on a truly amazing talent Rose Marie, She narrates a good part of the film herself, in that unmistakable voice, beginning with her fame as a 4-year-old singer, and her multi-talents taking her into so many entertainment outlets, wanting to work till her passing in late 2017 at the age of 94.

The movie has many surprises to offer and I found it all quite fascinating. The one minor criticism I have is that the director, Jason Wise, used some recreations of events in Rose Marie's life and that came across to me as rather gimmicky. But the actual film footage and still photos depicting her remarkable journey, interwoven with Rose Marie's and other interviewees comments, were extraordinary.

All in all, a highly engaging and entertaining film.
