    My favorite movie
    I loved this movie. It's my favorite and yes, it's quite quirky. It's so far out and crazy, I think it is/was extremely creative. It's a bit outdated but so what. I purchased it years ago on tape and the ending has been changed, to my regret. The ending that I remember was that Tommy Smothers returned to his old apartment to find this giant IBM-type corporation that had as its logo, a picture of him and his rabbit had a giant building. This was what he ran away from. He proceeded to go up to a higher floor and JUMPED out of the window. That's the ending I remember and loved. The idea of having Orson Wells as the tap-dancing magician teacher is amazing and the graduation ceremony is hilarious, being that Wells asks Smothers to step forward, even though there is no one else in the room. Great!!!
