This has to one of the strangest movies I have ever seen. It's dated, but I could not get over the weirdness of it. Films like 'The Producers', and TV shows like 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' had to have been inspired (stolen ideas) from this one.
If it was made in the 1960's, the critics would have said the directors' must have been on a bad LSD trip. Shemp Howard starred in film this 5 years before rejoining 'The Three Stooges'.
I came across this film researching some of the background on the Monkees' movie 'Head' 1968. You can see some comparisons, but thing that stood out to me was how fast this movie moves along with the gags, jokes, etc. If you are not paying attention you will probably miss something.
The story line of the movie within the movie and the constant breaking of the 4th wall, make this a very unique film.
