First: The Sony movie channel has been periodically showing this, in a hilariously good, maybe even remastered transfer. Look for it.
Second, ignore the poster, the marketing of the time, even the title. It's not slapstick, no impossibly improbable stuff and really, it's more like a heist movie than a pure comedy. All machinations of some scheming lower ranks to get a party together, all within or by skirting regulations.
No physical impossibilities, no moustache twirling villains breaking the law themselves, no one runs around in a gorilla suit. It's even relatively realistic B&W.
Nothing like Bilko or so on, and all the better for it.
