oldiesdude1956's rating
Just before Murphy and Simms go to see the Palm Reader, the man at the visual machine, with his back to us, when responding to Murphys comment looks quickly back. He looks life Paul Ford of the Music Man and You'll Never Get Rich (Bilko). He looks very young too. The color is fantastic and the opening number is first rate. It is great to see Nancy Walker in her youth. The dancers are superb and the music is great. Ginny Simms looks great coming out of Kay Keysers band. She was also with Abbott and Costello in a movie called "Hit the Ice." Her voice is great and the band compliments her voice. Lorne looks great but the Brazilian number was a little dull. They could have used her better in another dance scene.I give the movie a strong seven.
At the end of the this great episode on the DVD the ending credits are from 1965. This episode was made for television in 1963. I looked to see if a character in this episode was the late Ivan Dixon from the television show Hogans Heroes which started in 1965, and it obviously was. But surprisingly the credits at end of the show are not from this 1963 episode. Recently I have noticed a lot of these "wrong" credits on a lot of television DVDs from other shows. They probably lost them and replaced them with other credits thinking the public would not notice them. I particularly like this episode because it uses race when it was a taboo subject at the time of its release. I also like the judge in this episode because he always played a crook in earlier movies especially with the "Three Stooges" and other earlier films of the 1940's and 1950's.
