      @cjmesq: I hope you don't mind my long nod to your comment. I wasn't much older than you when I saw it in the late 60s in an open-air summer cinema in Cairo, Egypt of all places. Comedy is a great "uniter" in this world and cuts across all cultures. The theater was packed, probably with many 2nd timers, and I recall so much laughter erupting. Those were wonderful and simpler times when Hollywood was worth opening our wallets. Since then I've seen it 3 or 4 more times.

    Saw this motion picture at the theatre when it was first released. I was (about) ten years old.
    I was glued to the screen, and never laughed so hard in my life!
    When the show ended, I was physically exhausted from laughing so long!
    One of the best comedy films ever (and very true to our human instincts -- even if they are not always virtuous).

The last time we all got together, we were going out to dinner -- my friend and her husband in the front seat of their SUV, "Mommy" and I in the back seat -- and "Mommy" mentioned this film factoid about herself to me. That made both of us get the giggles. Then "Mommy" brought up the scene where the guys turn the battleaxe upside-down to shake the key out of her, and the dress flips upside-down as well, revealing that industrial-strength girdle. That set us both to hee-hawing to the point of tears. 😂😂

      Barrie Chase turned 90 on Oct. 20 in 2023. She was sexy (at 28/29, when filmed between Apr. 26-Dec. 7 [expected end date] in 1962; but it took longer, exact date not known) in that black bikini, dancing to try to entice Sylvester Marcus to mess around with her, instead of sitting on the floor drinking a can of beer!

    It's probably the greatest comedic film in motion picture history. First time ever watching this movie's re-released at the movie theater in my hometown in about 1967, when I was only about 6 years old. Jonathan Winter made me crying laughing so hard, when his stuntman was riding on the swaying taxi cab loose door! The best casts I have ever seen with their amazing funny acts. "I'm comin' Momma!"

What obsesses the Academy to honor mediocre films and acting that are forgotten in under a decade, when as soon as this film was released, it was understood to be a classic? Check the history, they do it over and over. Which is why a Golden Globe is now the most prestigious award in the industry.

    One of my favorite movies of all time. I've heard more than on one occasion that Stan Laurel was originally going to be the driver of the car in the desert. He was replaced by Jack Benny when he backed out at the last minute. The establishing shot of the car stopping on the road had already been filmed when Laurel backed out. That's why Jack Benny is wearing the "Stanley" bowler hat, to match the establishing shot.
