This one has been on my to see list for awhile. It sounds like a fun movie - has anyone here seen it?

Here's a fascinating behind the scenes video about this movie:

Hello, Falsealarms  - - I saw this movie, but I saw it in the 1970s, and my recollection of it is hazy.  I remember being entertained by it.  Jim Hutton was very good.  The director (Howard Morris from "Your Show of Shows") and cast are great.  I recall laughing aloud at a quick visual joke featuring Victor Buono.  If it came on TV, I would watch it again.  A review is available from the IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base):
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062490/
If you scroll down to where you can click a link to a discussion of the movie, it will take you to viewer comments plus a link to the trailer.

It's a LOAD of fun -- I think I've posted about it before on this forum.
Emil Sitka's cameo is so small he's not even listed in the credits.

I guess my VHS copy is worthless now!
