4/10
Alas, a disappointment***SPOILER ALERT***

Warning: Spoilers
No video. The great Cantinflas. One of the greatest comedians and no video. What does that tell you? Hmmm. More. Star-studded cast. Jillions of cameos...all on the heels of Mike Todd's successful Around the World in Eighty Days. Ah, could it be that our old Hollywood capitalist buddies wanted to make another killing on the heels of AtWi80D? Sure. But, they picked such a dog of a story that not even the great Cantinflas could sell it. No video. So, if it comes around on the late show, be advised that this makes maudlin look spicy. Yep. You'll be disappointed. I was. Don't watch it. Find an old I Love Lucy rerun. It has more intellectual content.
