Movie Connections:

Featured in The Unknown Peter Sellers (2000) (TV)

I barely remember so cannot review it, but want to see it again.

I saw this movie once, back in the late '50s or early '60s, when I was a mere child, I guess, and have never forgotten it. I know I thought it was terribly clever and funny, and ranked it up there with "Only Two Can Play," which I could review because I have seen it many times. Wish I could get a video of it.
