Title: Funny, but not as funny as I remember
Review: I saw this movie on television when I was about eight or nine years old. I watched it with my brother on New Year's Eve. At that time, we thought the movie was hysterical. I always had a great memory of that New Year's Eve, and this movie was part of that memory. However, after purchasing the movie and reviewing it 50 years later, it lacks the same hysteria of my youth. Granted there are some cleverly funny scenes, and the lack of continuity 50 years ago added to the hilarity. However, today, I understand the reason for the lack of continuity, and I can see that there is a bit too much filler to make this any type of movie of lasting quality. I'm glad I purchased it to try to relive a memory, but I really can't recommend the movie for someone who does not already have a nostalgia twinge associated with the film or the play. The low rating is no fault of Amazon or the vendor. The quality of the product is good. It's just that the content is outdated.
