Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaUpon its original release, the film was banned in Memphis, Tennessee, where officials found Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson's servant character had "too familiar a way about him" and that the movie overall depicted "too much social equality and racial mixture."
- GoofsWhen a phone rings on Brewster's desk, he picks up the wrong phone. His friend answers the ringing phone and passes it to Brewster and then places Brewster's hand set on the ringing phone's cradle, which would have ended the phone call. Brewster finishes his call and puts the handset on the other cradle. Then that phone rings and he has another conversation which is also impossible.
- Quotes
Montague L. 'Monty' Brewster: Say, I heard you were in the Navy.
Jackson: So did the Japs. And when they did, there was more Hari-Kari and throat cutting than at a Harlem rent party.

Featured review
screwball comedy that's worth the money
Unfortunately, mention of the film title today always stops with Richard Pryor. While the Peoria comedian deserves mention, his 1985 film is not the definitive version. You have to go back to 1945 to pick up the Dennis O'Keefe rendition. It's wild and wacky, silly enough to amuse but also throws a spotlight on Hollywood's special ability to let one escape from the real world for an hour or two. Good luck finding it!
