Gleason shines in this cold-war comedy.Gleason and his family are mistaken for spys in a communist style country and chased into an American embassy.The Laughs are often and the cast excels,especially Gleason,"Krojack" and "Father Drobney".The movie is hardly a masterpiece but if your in the right frame of mind its Hilarious!
It's much better than the later remake with Woody Allen which was harsh,cynical and forced.And produced much less laughs also.
Its just Good Clean Fun!
