Trivia:
All but the last 2 weeks of filming were directed by Ralph Senensky. He left after expressing concern that the elephants would be spooked on Halloween night, when a scene was scheduled to be shot. As it turned out he was right and Nanette Fabray was injured. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: The helicopter's shadow can be seen during an aerial scene. moreQuotes:
Herbie Maddox: Did you hear the one about the two newborn babies in the nursery? The girl baby says to the boy baby 'are you a boy baby or a girl baby?', he says 'I'm a boy baby'. The girl baby says 'how do you know you're a boy baby?' At that the boy baby whips back the blankets and says 'see that? Blue booties!' moreSoundtrack:

Good sitcom-ish movie that makes for a pleasant few hours entertainment. A cast of old-style character actor pros make the rather silly plot worth watching. The revenge set-pieces are the highlights, but the action ending doesn't ruin the fun. Any movie that focuses on good guys squelching the snobs is worth getting, and Barbara Eden is always watchable.
