You couldn't find more characters in a MAD magazine metaphor. Pure genius. Excellent script. A list actors. I heard it cost 9 million to a director who only cast dramas. I'm sure the studios were happy with the returns in the first weeks.
Every line is a gem. The twist that the truck driver lost his truck made a incredible plot line and more gems. And the unlikely alliances. You're right. It's a diamond. Life couldn't have produced a better cast from people essentially born before the 1920's.
Oh, I get it! It must be about Ethel Merman's "bosoms". I was depressed and I decided to watch this movie and I laughed so much. I feel much better ha ha
How right you are, absolutely bonkers in 2024 to cover up a cleavage deemed acceptable in 1962, talk about prudish! Anyway Ethel Merman made this film for me, and that is really saying something considering how on form everyone is and what a spectacular movie this is, a true classic!
I'm 58 and I'd argue that this still holds up today as one of the funniest movies ever filmed.
I agree!
I’m also 58 and 100% agree. It’s my whole family’s favorite.
I try to watch this at least monthly. I notice more silliness each time. 😂😂😂
The color in this film is awesome . The clarity - fantastic . A joy .
That's a great selection of clips from an epic movie.

I love how the first 10 minutes of the movie is basically Milton Berle constantly repeating “he just went SAILING right out there!”

Like a stuck needle!
This movie is one of the all-time leaders for having an all-star cast!
And they were ALL the comedians of the day!
Try that today!
I can think of a dozen such off the top of my head..

To this day, I come into my parents house and say “YOUR BOYS HERE MOMMA!”
Fix me a drink like dear old dad used to make and not so sweet this time.
Funniest movie everrr😂😂😂
Detective: “Did he say anything before he died?”
Jonathan Winters: “What about?” 🤣😂
MY ARM!! YOU BROKE MY ARM!! 😂
Ethal Merman convinced me at 15 to never get married.
Ha!! One of my favorite movies. They were such shallow greedy characters.
Haha, mine too!
Try me! I’m pretty gullible!
The Jim Backus lines are legendary....but where is Dick Shawn? To me, those two shined above all the other stars.
@@joebivona5590 He comes in part two!😄 I agree!
C'mon!! It's Easy!! 😂
😂
What's with the red bar across Ethel's cleavage? Otherwise, you pretty much nailed it! These are all the quotes we say to each other all the time.
YT Censorship.
Which includes:
No Buttocks
No Alcohol Labels
No Extremism Logos
No non pixelated or redacted computer screens / IDs
The red bar was to censor that runaway train non stop, hen pecking, loud mouth. A little short.
Stupid red line. Brings more attention to it than not.
