Genre: Musical

Cast: Cantinflas, Dan Dailey, Shirley Jones, Carlos Montalban, Jack Lemmon, Bing Crosby, Debbie Reynolds, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Janet Leigh
In this over-long film, Cantinflas is a hobo who comes to the aid of a has-been Hollywood director. This movie is really just a vehicle to showcase Hollywood stars in cameo performances. Originally it was even longer-by about 40 minutes! 1 User Review

| | Kinda stupid but picks up when... | Bulwer 02/01/2007 | | This story has all kinds of holes in the plot, it's inane but typical for the time period. It only gets going when Jenilee removes her jacket towards the end and is wearing nothing but a thin tank (no pun intended) top! GOOD GAWD!! Thank goodness for Slow Mo!! |
