  Oh how I laughed out loud. Zero Mostel is a comedy genius, the writing is superb and the one-liners had me cackling until I cried. If you don't get any ... read more »

  Don't be mistaken...
  
  This DVD is just for enthusiasts and offers very little to everyone else.
  
  It didn't last even 5 mins with me!

  Go and see the stage play if you can! It's a more complete experience. Either I fell asleep early in the film or the plot is never clearly explained.

  A bit dated, but still fun.
  
  It was great to see this film again especially after having seen the new staged musical version (which, believe it or not, is even better than the film).
