A KILLER Comedy..hee...hee...killer...get it? Dick van Dyke is a great actor. His shows and movies have always been hilarious. But I don't get this movie. After about fifty minutes in, I looked at the case and realised it only had about half an hour left. Nothing had happened! Nothing does happen! The very loose plot is stretched out by having Mr. van Dyke run all over the mansion trying to get out and being stopped by random things and people that have nothing to do with anything. And I do believe this was one of the longest end-of-the-movie chases I've ever seen. After all that, I still somehow enjoyed myself, at least enough to watch again and then again. Still watch it, you might find it better than I did.

Dick Van Dyke and Edward G. Robinson are wonderful in this movie. The former is a comic genius. The latter obviously enjoyed poking gentle fun at the gangster roles he made famous. Best of all, this movie is simple. No deep plot. No heartfelt message or After School Special moral. Instead, this movie is just good, old-fashioned silly fun.

I saw this when I was about 15 and I was rolling on the ground! I'm 23 now and just watched it again. STILL FUNNY! An all around good movie for the whole family.
