The writer/director of the Casablanca of alcoholic clown movies is getting some Park City heat this year. Robin Williams takes a most un-family friendly turn in

Goldthwait's World's Greatest Dad as a high school teacher with dreams of

literary stardom. Let's just say the plot kicks into high gear with a case of autoerotic

asphyxiation.

This article also hints at how Goldthwait avoided the

fate of so many other 80's footnotes:

"He recalls the time he went from getting a standing

ovation at a film festival to a few days later being heckled on-stage at a

combination comedy club/seafood restaurant. He makes clear that he has no

bitterness regarding his comedy career, but adds he is much happier to not be

performing."

Perhaps that "staying humble" thing really does

spell longevity in Hollywood.
