This film is two hours of almost continuous fun and laughter

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2009)

The day I watched this film for the first time was a good day because I regard it now as one of my favourite films. Yes it was made 50 years ago and judging by the number of votes this film has attracted most people would be forgiven for thinking that this film was not that great but fortunately for me it is a classic and the cast and crew have created a superb romp of almost continuous fun and laughter. I believe the cast list could have been quite different for all sorts of reasons but as far as I am concerned the people who were involved conspired to produce a perfect comedy. I would recommend anyone watch this film and as long as nobody takes it too seriously I an convinced that most people will find it as funny as myself and numerous other people have. I would advise the person that is watching it for the first time just relax, tune in to the humour level and pay attention because there are a lot of visual and vocal subtleties. Even if the humour doesn't appeal I suspect the most hard nosed critic will at least accept that it is a superb creation. To me the film is 120 minutes of joy and the world is better off for its existence and I just hope that a lot more people watch it to appreciate why.
