Robert Hayes, Pam Dauber, and Jill Ireland are great in this very funny movie based on the MacDonald book. When a young man is left a gold watch by his millionaire uncle he can't believe that is all the uncle left him. Then a message from his uncle tells him there is more to the watch than meets the eye. He finds out the watch can stop time. With such incredible power he doesn't know what to do. Unfortunately for him there are two people that want the watch for illegal purposes. They will stop at nothing to get it. The means by which Hayes foils them and escapes is often hysterical. It is sad this hasn't been released on DVD, nor even VHS. Be sure to read the book.
