This film is available to watch on Youtube. It's actually better than many of Lewis' other movies, including his comeback film, "Hardly Working", and several of his films with Dean Martin. WAY better than "Don't Lower the Bridge..." or "Slapstick of a Different Kind." I'd say it's about on par with "Way Way Out", except more consistently gag-oriented and lower budget. I really cannot imagine why Lewis wants to withhold distributing this film, given his real Hollywood bombs in the past. The editing is clumsy and it doesn't have the manic impact typical of Lewis' films; he and Frank Tashlin did know best how to focus on a Lewis-character when he was on a roll. On the other hand, I found this film droll and amusing all the way through, without any need to fast-forward. On the other hand...
