I have to laugh at the girlie "men" so indignantly panning a movie from 50 years ago. Grow up, you wimps, and take notes. This is what men were like 150 years ago, and even 50 years ago. Frankly, I found this quite entertaining for what it was intended to be! - after all, Blake Edwards produced it, not Elizabeth Warren.
I kept seeing parallels to "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!" from five years previous, wherein many disparate parties all catch wind of a hidden treasure, and friendships/alliances/allegiances constantly shift until all parties converge upon the treasure...at which point the party watching all the silliness absconds with the loot. This flick just adds an extra twist after THAT point.
Nice way to kill two hours!
