I believe this is the road show version, as it has the overture, interemission, and "walk out" music over a card.
The colors are vivid. Most entertaining, is the final pie-throwing scene, where the color tranfer is best demonstrated, to great effect, even if you don't like slapstick like this!
The comedy is First Rate...especially Jack Lemmon and Peter Falk. Classic Blake Edwards. Supporting roles are faces you all recognize, and they never fail to deliver !
The recent "Rat Race" rip off contrasts as sub-par, and forced, compared with the genuine charm of the actors here. Remember, when it was a joy to actually, be charmed and captivated by an actor, rather than having forced characterization, rubbed in your face, in a like-it-or-not performance that you absolutely HATE ?
There is nothing like the Original Thing !!!!
