I have chuckled all the way through that a few times

I just came upon this subject and have to admit that I've watched this (long) movie countless times. Doesn't matter that I know the dialogue almost word for word - I still laugh in all the same places.

And the incidentals - Jerry Lewis driving his car over the police chief's hat; Jack Benny stopping by in his ancient Maxwell car; and so on.

Has to be considered a classic of the big screen.

I've had it for many years--like hundreds of my other DVD-Rs, taped off of cable then ripped to disc, in my massive Great Directors sets--and will likely get to it and finally view it in its entirety.
