At least my funniest movie of all time. This Blake Edwards classic only gets better with age. Comic performances by the villain, Jack Lemmon, the villain's henchman, Peter Falk, and the hero, Tony Curtis, are hilarious. Mr. Curtis' performance is made funnier by the fact that he delivers the funniest lines with the straightest face. Natalie Wood is beautiful as the heroine/love interest, Keenan Wynn as the hero's loyal sidekick, and wonderful supporting performances by Arthur O'Connell, Vivian Vance and Marvin Kaplan. Watch for actors Dorothy Provine, Larry Storch, Ross Martin, Denver Pyle and Hal Smith, in scenes not to be forgotten. The direction by Blake Edwards, as well as his writing, with Arthur Ross, the slapstick comedy, the sight gags and the cinematography are outstanding. I fall down laughing every time I see this movie. I saw it first in a movie theater in the sixties, soon after it's release, and have loved it ever since. It's a gas!
