Rating:  - long lost gem
I had seen it when it came out but when I rediscovered it on DVD, it was
so Laugh out Loud funny. A brilliant hymn to movies and the script is just a delight. Such a treat to see so many old gems in one film. A real treasure to own...

Rating: - A lot of Fun
The dog deserves an Academy award, and the satirical skits on Hollywood are great.It certainly was thrilling for me to see the stars of the 1930's & 1940's in the 1970's. Favorite gag- a pitchman says to a studio executive- "How about this idea for a movie, a tornado takes a girl from Kansas to a fantasy land where she meets a man made from tin, a lion, and a strawman." Executive- " Will you get out of here!"
