Zany huge-budget comedy with a truly incredible cast list which was shot around the backlot and studio. This was a true epic - shot in Cinerama (new ultra-widescreen process which meant cinemas had to build new curved screens and install multiple projectors). It was the first film ever shown at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, California, 7 November 1963.

As well as a huge  cast, a large number of stars of the time appeared in cameo roles - the director cast every comedy performer he could think of.
