Negative Positive
Title: Majorly off-kilter
Review: I saw this film as a child sometime the the 40's and never have forgotten some of the scenes. Not having seen it since, I wondered how I would react to it as an adult. Without whiz-bang special effects or foreboding music, this film still can give me the creeps when watching live flamingos used as croquet mallets and talking pudding. It also can be amazingly funny. The Humpty Dumpty sequence seems like it was written for W.C. Fields. And who would expect to see Cary Grant weeping his eyes out in a giant turtle suit or Gary Cooper dim wittingly falling off a horse? You will not find this film cloying or even endearing. You will find it true to the sources and well worth your time if you are in for something off-kilter.
