- Quotes
Steve Wiley: [referring to sexy movie star Anita Ekberg] Do I know her? She drives me crazy!
Malcolm Smith: [obviously excited] Me too!
Steve Wiley: She keeps coming to my back door and wants to borrow a couple of cups of sugar...
Malcolm Smith: Sugar? That's nice, yeah!
Steve Wiley: ...a couple eggs...
Steve Wiley: Oh, eggs! Good!
Steve Wiley: I go over to her place - I borrow a grapefruit or two...
Malcolm Smith: [aroused by the metaphor] Oh, that's cute!
- Crazy creditsDean Martin addresses the audience: "In all countries throughout the world, the movie fan enjoys the movies." (Scene of Jerry Lewis is in a theater seat, dressed in a Cossack uniform, with huge handcuffs, clapping and applauding).
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Godfather (1972)
Some great comedic stuff is provided by the dog, Mr. Bascom. There is an especially cute segment where he meets and "falls in love" with Anita Eckberg's dog. Oops....don't want to give too much of it away.
All in all this is a very funny movie, and well worth buying or renting.
