This movie is really silly. It was made in 1963 and has almost all the famous comics of the day in it. A group of drivers witnesses the death of crazy driver, Jimmy Durante. He tells them about a big sack of loot that he hid. A chase ensues that is full of weird driving and flying stunts. I would say not to waste your time on this one. The biggest shock to me is that Spencer Tracy is in it as the police captain on the groups trail.

Some good performances are here among the bad ones - I enjoyed watching Jonathan Winters, Ethel Merman and Dick Shawn. Jack Benny has a hilarious cameo, but if you blink you will miss it. This is a long long movie. It was given to me as a gift, so I hung in there, but it is pure silliness, start to finish.

anyone who wants to see a bunch of stars being really silly.

Dick Shawn's hilarious twisting.

includes Sid Caesar, Eddie Adams, Dorothy Provine, Mickey Rooney, Buddy Hackett, Phil Silvers, Norman Fel, Peter Falk and countless others.

it was worth it to me to see what the movie was like, but if you don't like vintage stuff that is really silly, you probably won't like this one.
