however a comedy it assuredly is.
It is replete with comic circumstances and characters, including the uncle's infatuation with "I." This played for big laughs when I saw it in a theater.
On all movie databases, this is classified as a comedy. You may have become insular like Carroll's Humpty Dumpty:
"When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."
