Marvelous madness!

Warning: Spoilers
It's been several decades since I saw this very short exercise in divine absurdity. I recall that mirth reigned unconfined. It was just so delightfully, zestfully silly!

The only bit I remember from it now (I don't think this is qualifies as a spoiler; farce thrives on repetition) was Peter Sellers playing a phonograph record.

He placed the record in the center of a flat-topped tree stump. Then, carrying an old gramophone "horn" that terminated in a phonograph needle that touched the record, he ran round and round the stump, the music speeding up as he ran faster.

I remembered the film's name all these years though resigned to never seeing it again... but now it's available on DVD!

If you like Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, the Goons, Monty Python, or just silliness in general, don't miss this one!
