There could do with some watching of films such as this in high offices in the US or indeed, in many other "world powers".
Pragmatism and a certain amount of humility might be learnt by those watching and a realisation that acts of domination aren't necessarily a good thing nor will they end in their intended way; are the basic premise of this film.
What it lacks in subtle finesse, it makes up for in it's universal humour and it's now poignant reminder that we can all be fools when we think first of ourselves and only later of the consequences for others.
A film made in 1963, more than 40 years old, still has a message for us today, a message that it seems many need reminding of.
Splendid farce and superb comedy moments and a jolly gripping tale to boot.
I'll drink champagne to that!
