Despite all the shouting, this film has some of the all-time most memorable comedy scenes ever put on film. However, if you want three hours of pure lunacy and escapist fare, you could do a whole lot worse. I'm either getting too old or this film is getting to look dated and corny.probably both. When I saw this in the theater, and even in the '80s on tape, I liked it immensely, but now it's just a bit loud and too much for me in spots. Add a famous dramatic actor, Spencer Tracy, to the mix, too, and you have one of the most famous comedies ever put on film. Just check the credits - it's unbelievable! Suffice to say, it was an "all-star" cast of everybody you could think of who was a big-name comedian in 1963 including some old-timers like Mickey Rooney, Milton Berle, etc. Well, if I named all the famous comedians who were in this film it would a long, long review.
