Good Morning Williams

Good Morning Williams

Country: Italy
Year: 2002
Duration: 45'


This is living proof of how an interview can turn into a real show. The American actor Robin Williams offers David Grieco a one-man-show worthy of his start as a stand-up comedian in Los Angeles nightclubs. Williams sings, shouts, and speaks various languages with an infinite number of accents. He manages to play the roles of an authentic army of different characters taken from life, from the movies, from TV, and from his uncontainable imagination.
