Excellent cast and a great movie.
Haven't seen this movie in ages - might have to DVR this tonight.
I love when the Simpsons pay homage to movies like this...
Except their palm tree was in the shape of the letter "T" lol

One of my favorite movies with such a great cast.

Jim Backus as the drunk pilot was hilarious.
And a few cameos (Jack Benny, Jerry Lewis, The 3 Stooges).
The only sad part was how ancient the 3 stooges looked in their cameo as firefighters. Moe, Larry and some other vaguely familiar guy.
My favorite part was when Jonathon Winters destroys the garage...you guys are starting to piss me off...we're going to have to kill him!

An absolutely brilliant film!! I haven't seen it in years!
They will probably butcher it with commercials. I really should get the DVD for this classic.
Edie Adams was a sweetheart!

There's no commercials on TCM. As a matter of fact, they letterbox the screen so the left and right margins aren't cut off.
I loved Phil Silvers in this movie but my favorite scene is where Jim Backus gives control of the airplane to Buddy Hackett so he can go and make an Old Fashioned cocktail drink. Hackett says "what if something happens (to the airplane)?" Backus replies "What can happen to to an Old Fashioned?"
