A classic comedy of its time and captures the period in sight and sound. It doesn't wear as well as a true classic, though, and many of the gags would feel dated 20 years later.

It goes overboard in pressing for its goal and consequently suffers from over-contrived treatment.

Top CriticJammed with stars in a zany, surprisingly unfunny plot for the most part.
