It's highspeed, high-pressure comedy burlesque, wonderful for movie goers who like that sort of thing; and even for those who ordinarily don't.

I saw this on tv a long time ago, and loved it. It was many years before I saw it again and got it on video tape. It is an engaging fun movie, very fast paced movie full of lighthearted comedy. If toy enjoy a good old movie this one is top notch. I am excited to have it again. thanks Rotten tomatoes for this amazing movie.
