Something Different (Reiner)
by Carl Reiner
Synopsis
Something Different is about a playwright who's writing a play called Something Different.
He has an Oedipal complex and can only write if he has his mother present.
To satisfy this need, he first tries to get his wife to dress up like his mother, then eventually hires a strange woman to do it.
All of this proves to be almost funny, as in the scene where he auditions women to play his Jewish mother: one turns out to be Irish, another black, and the third a big-breasted ingenue.
