Watch Fatso Movie Online.
Movie Title: Fatso Fatso is available for streaming or downloading. |
I first saw Fatso when I was working in Yonkers, NY in the early 80’s. I loved it then and have since seen it about 15 times. I too use lines from the movie in my everyday life, i.e. “how would you like to stuff that in a jelly donut?” or “He (Sal) was my favorite cousin, he always had something on him to eat - always” or one of the best lines was when Anne Bancroft was talking to Dommie about his missed appointment with Dr. Schwartzman (the diet doctor) and she said “Sal had an appointment with Schwartzman and he went and got a pizza instead”. Dommie replied “Probably sausage”. I think this is pure genius, but I know that this film isn’t for everyone (skinny people). I guess it helps that I love to eat and am from NY, but I have recommended this movie to several of my friends out here in SF, CA and most of them have started quoting lines from the film as well. This film is a classic - Go buy it or rent it if you can find it. After the movie order up a nice pizza or plan to go down to Chinatown for a meal or two…….
I’m writing this the day after Anne Bancroft passed away. Shame on me, in this age of instant electronic communication, for never having even tried to let her know how much this warm, lovely film meant to me and my sisters. And now she is gone. (The fact that Ms. Bancroft, apart from June Allyson, was the only genuine, certifiable star of stage and screen to hail from my part of The Bronx - Throgg’s Neck - just made it that much more special.) But perhaps, in some small measure, I can make up for my lamentable omission by Spreading The Good Word about “Fatso.”

First off - don’t be fooled by the title. The trials and tribulations of tubbiness are definitely NOT what this movie is principally about. To paraphrase a line from her husband’s masterpiece, “The Producers,” this wonderful movie is practically a love letter to growing up Italian-American in New York anywhere from 1940 to 1980. (To my knowledge, the only other film that even comes close is “Marty.”) From the sausage-and-pepper heroes to the picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the stairwell to the tomato sauce simmering for hours in the chipped white enamel pots, THIS is the most truthful picture of typical Italian-American family life ever brought to the big screen. I’ve long suspected that Anne Bancroft, Dom DeLuise and Ron Cary weren’t really acting here - they were just reminiscing.
But the MOST authentic and MOST important thing about “Fatso” is the evident affection that the members of the DiNapoli family have for one another - warts, tempers, avoirdupois, and all. Just as in real life, even when the characters are arguing, you can tell that it’s just momentary - not born of lasting anger or hatred, but out of genuine love and concern for the other’s well-being. From every standpoint, this is The Way It Was. It’s The Real Thing.

My sincere condolances go out to Mel Brooks, their son Max and the whole family. May they find solace in wonderful memories and - as Dom DeLuise assures Zi’ Mari’ in the opening scene of the picture - the certainty that she is “in paravise con i santi” even now.
