I saw it when it was first released at the Richards Gebaur AFB theater....I was just a kid, 7 or 8.
I didn't find it THAT funny then...nor do I today. It has its moments but tries far too hard.

Honestly, I was more entertained by the Beech, J-1 and Bell 47 (all of which I could identify at the time).

I figure if you wanted my opinion on items unrelated to this forum, you'd ask for it.

Of all the times I've seen the movie, my favorite was the night (in '02 IIRC) the Cinerama Dome ran a 70mm print with many of the surviving actors in the audience - got to meet Marvin Kaplan, Edie Adams and Stan Freberg. Also, with the detail visible in that print you could spot Paul Mantz's photo-nose B-25 in the background at the Rancho Conejo airport, and just before Culpeper's car and the two taxis turn down the alley, a building on the corner has a large orange sign reading "Nixon for Governor". They must have filmed that scene in late '62 before "...you won't have Dick Nixon to kick around any more."
