The movie had problems with the censors of the era, and you can easily see why.

Another movie that Preston Sturges wrote and directed the same year, "Hail the Conquering Hero," is even funnier. Eddie Bracken was the master of the double-take. I still sing "We Want Woodrow for Our Mayor" in the shower.
