Correct on all counts! ("All Of Me" features my favourite poem of all time, "O pointy birds, o pointy pointy, anoint my head, anointy-nointy."

Point to Mr. FitzSimons.

You'd think if it's your favorite you'd remember its source a little better - that poem is from "The Man with Two Brains".

I'm a busy man. I have no time to discern between Steve Martin vehicles.

And I loved that remake of Cyrano de Bergerac he did, "Father of the Bride Part II".
