Top CriticA classic comedy of its time and captures the period in sight and sound. It doesn't wear as well as a true classic, though, and many of the gags would feel dated 20 years later.

Top CriticSomewhere in the proceedings there were sane and skillful artisans at work.

Top CriticThe all-star international cast goes overboard in keeping things zany but not necessarily funny.
