As I recall I saw this on TV on the late, late show with my mom when I was about 7 or 8. All I really remembered was the scene where the heroine was frozen in a block of ice to keep her from aging until her betrothed (a little boy) could grow up to marry her. I remember her true love rescuing her from that fate. I could never find the movie because I misremembered the star as Doris Day.
Anyway, a couple years ago, I found this movie and tried to watch it. It was painful. Bad acting (especially by the two romantic leads), bad writing, silly premise, all adding up to one boring, unwatchable film. Not sure how it got made. As another reviewer noted, it contains offensive racial stereotypes that were probably even offensive by 1967 standards. I tried to watch the whole thing, but as I said, it truly is unwatchable. I'd rather watch an episode of Family Ties. And I hated Family Ties. Hated.
In sum, it isn't funny, fun or clever. It is just bad. If you have fond memories of seeing it once at as a child, don't waste your time watching it as an adult or you're liable to find out how really, truly awful your childhood taste was. Watch Follow Me Boys or Charley and the Angel instead.
