Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPersistent rumors (never confirmed) about this film suggest that it was originally intended as a vehicle for Jerry Lewis, and ended up starring Danny Kaye instead. Lewis made many films with Director Frank Tashlin, and they had a success (written by John Fenton Murray, who also worked on this film) with "It's Only Money" (1962). Many critics noted that the physical comedy involved in this film would have seemed more suited to a younger man than the 50-year-old Kaye; Lewis was 37.
- GoofsWhen the boss pulls away from the church in the closing chase scene, several crew members are reflected in the side of the car, including someone wearing very white shoes.

Featured review
It's a bit of a silly, over-played comedy, with danny kaye. When ernie approves a diners club charge card for ron pulardos (telly savalas) all hell breaks loose. It turns out that pulardos is a well known mobster, busted for taxes, and wants to disappear in an arranged fire. Of his own gym. So ernie tries to get the card back before pulardos can use it! Ann guilbert (millie, on dick van dyke!) is ella, in the computer room. George kennedy is george, working for pulardos. A funny scene where ernie gets to beat up his boss at work, when he pretends to be the massage therapist. And probably the last film to feature a dumb-waiter as part of the plot! Directed by frank tashlin. Made a ton of films with jerry lewis, but died at 59 of thrombosis. Did you notice the opening song was sung by steve lawrence? Showing on free tubi channel. It's pretty good... a whole lot of slapstick and the usual misunderstandings.
