Very funny movie, but it’s also very long which kills the LPM score.
A classic! The whole laugh-a-minute thing is shot-to-pieces by movies like this!
Today’s “humor” critics wouldn’t know good humor if it slapped them in the face. A laugh a minute doesn’t mean anything. The Three Stooges were hilarious! Sure, they were violent and silly, and as a kid I laughed like crazy at their antics. As an adult, they are still just as funny, but when I think of the planning, script writing and execution that went into their films, I marvel , and that makes it even more enjoyable.
The ingenuity of the comics of the past can’t be beat by “laughs-a-minute”.
I could go on and on with this. At any rate, laughing is good for the soul…
I saw a wide-screen version of that at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood in 1964--an unforgettable experience.
