Scorsese at his silliest

I guess It's Not Just You, Murray! Would count as Scorsese's first crime film, even though it's pretty light on the crime overall and feels more like a broad comedy. Still, I found it to be a fairly fun, is scattershot watch. Another key first is this is, I believe, the first time Scorsese put his mother in a role in one of his films, and she's responsible for some of this short's funniest moments.

I wasn't expecting it to turn into a Federico Fellini parody or homage; it felt a bit like they didn't know how to wrap things up in just 15 minutes. But the bulk of this short film is pretty entertaining, and also succeeded in making me laugh a handful of times - Scorsese's knack for comedy has always been underrated.
