I came across this movie at 4am on TCM. What a Missing Gem of a movie. Unlce Milton Burl was at the top of his Form in this film. True like some comments have said the Skits were old even in "48" and Unlcle Milton used the skits on his Long Running TV show. I know this because I grew up watching him on Reruns. Too Bad someone doesn't bring this out on DVD it show cases a Classic Comic in his Prime would love to hear his Commentary on this Movie. By the everyone says this is Milton Burls only Movie. Have we already forgotten the Great "Mad Mad Mad Mad World"?????????? He did a great job in that movie as well but at a different point in his life.
