Possibly the most Tashlin film ever made. Also the hardest I've laughed in a long long time. Where ARTISTS AND MODELS reconstructed the cinema as comic book, this is cinema eating its own tail, resconstructing itself in its own (cartoon-ish) image.

First, this is a farce, not a satire. There is a difference and people should learn it. Second, Tashlin has lampooned the 'culture industry' in more creative ways in other films and so has Lewis. Last, Lewis was far better as a solo act than when tied to Martin, who is often a total wet blanket. There are some amusing gags and songs, but its overall (re: limited) appeal lies in the fact that it was the final Martin/Lewis collaboration.
