Awhile ago I was trying to find some Marty Feldman "British" comedy bits on youtube and found nothing. Now I found at least some although I wish there were more.
I first saw Feldman on "The Dean Martin Comedy World" in 1974 when I was a teen along with the first time I had seen "The Parrot Sketch" from Monty Python.
He's very much much like Buster Keaton except it's more from camera trickery than being as acrobatic as Keaton. I do have to say I think he's a bit nuts to do that train bit even if he is tethered in.
Here are just 3 skits
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Golfer
At Last the 1948 Show
Bookshop sketch

anyone else in that role. When he says to Gene Wilder, "Walk this way" and then hands him that little cane "this way" it's just too funny.

Unfortunately "Wholly Moses!" was released a few months earlier and didn't do too well so that probably didn't help Feldman's movie as there might have been some confusion between the two.
