Loved this movie when I was a kid. Saw it at the theater. Saw it again about a year ago. Wasn't really as good or funny as I remembered. It would still be pretty good for someone who's never seen it.

My Grammie took me at 13 to see it.....I remember her cracking up at parts but me not so much.
Guess will have to see how it goes tonight (if I can stay awake).
I am older now than she was then.Time flys

People who are funny no matter how many times you see this movie:

1. Ethel Merman (Mrs. Marcus)
2. Dick Shawn (Sylvester Marcus)
3. Mickey Rooney, Buddy Hackett and Jim Backus flying the
airplane
4. Terry Thomas
5. Milton Berle
6. Jonathan Winters destroying the gas station

I think it is the greatest ensemble comedy movie ever. There is a special on youtube about the making of it. And by the way; Barrie Chase, who was with Dick Shawn in the beach house is still alive.

It’s a big screen stunt film. Some models, no computers.
