I wanted to see the original before I see the new one, and now I have. A few moments made me laugh out loud. Sometimes it's just tough to get into a movie when it's this old the first time you see it.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A relentless barrage of slapstick gags, visual puns, and non-sequiturs that barely pauses for breath. This is anarchic comedy that treats plot as a convenient clothesline for jokes, where the real joy is in the sheer abundance of silly bits crammed into 86 minutes.
