Danny's facial expressions, body language and energy still makes it an entertaining film if one doesn't compare it to his best classics but just focuses on some of the more amusing scenes. Some of the best ones were the card machine going out of control and cards flying everywhere, Danny's tie getting caught in the machine, and Danny frantically trying to keep people from finding Sugar Pye in the dumbwaiter as she goes up and down between floors. That was pretty funny ! Telly Savalas was hilarious in the film, just in a campy way. Though I hadn't seen this film in decades, I still remembered him stuck in traffic and shouting "Freeways!" with disgust. When TCM broadcast the 24-hour Danny Kaye marathon in January 2013, I was able to re-watch this film and now think it is much better than I had remembered it...Danny Kaye Film Festivalhttp://www.facebook.com/dannykayefilmfestivalnoreply@blogger.com
