Customer Reviews

I wish..................
I wish there were more recorded performances of this brilliantly funny lady. I did purchase this DVD, and enjoyed seeing Totie perform again. However, the material wasn't that funny. To me at least. I know she incorporated her health issues in her monologues, but this particular performance just made me feel.....sad. Maybe one day someone will discover lost videos of Totie. She deserves to be remembered, but not like this.

Hello/Goodbye
How I wish they could have found an earlier performance to put on DVD. I love Totie Fields and think she was one of the best female comics of all time, but the HBO special made of her triumphant return to the stage after losing her leg is not very funny. Oh do not get me wrong there are some great lines but overall this is a more sentimental performance. The special is really a thank you card to her friends, family and fans but what is to be a happy hello becomes a goodbye as she did not live much longer after this performance. I can only hope that there is more material out there to be released to highlight her comedic brilliance.
