Trivia:
The appearance of Albert Whitlock as Arthur Brisbane is yet another of the film's many homages to Alfred Hitchcock; Whitlock was Hitchcock's special-effects man on several films.

Of course, we're not talking subtlety when we mention Mel but thi is a very underrated film in my opinion along with "History of the World". Mel singing the title song a la Frank Sinatra is a riot and I loved Cloris, Harvey, Howard Morris and the Richard Kiel takeoff (Jaws in The Spy who Loved Me and elsewhere.). And, of course, the late Madeline Kahn.
8 out of 10.
