Poor Jimmy, falling down the stairs twice in this, geez!!
I don't know why this movie is not as memorable as most of the movies he's made. Funny storyline, great cast, some oh-so serious bits included, overall I enjoyed it.
At least it was successful at the time, here's hoping it'll come to DVD soon!

I liked it, too.
I need to re-watch it because I've not seen it in many years now, though.

One of the MANY Jimmy Stewart films I enjoy!

It was just on FMC (not AMC!) today, after many years' absence. Very enjoyable movie, and underrated. Stewart's centennial is in a few days -- May 20, 2008...where is Fox with a DVD release of this and other missing Stewart films from Fox (e.g., NO HIGHWAY IN THE SKY)?
shareloved every minute of it! i can't believe it's so underrated.
shareI am a fan of Jimmy Stewart, and this is one of his great movies. I picked it up at Blockbuster and loved it.
Great laughs, good storyline, and great actors.
I thought it was a lot of fun too. Cool to see Stewart working with a young Natalie Wood, as I never knew they had.

Yeah very funny and a great Jim Stewart as always.When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...
Just caught this for the first time. The script and staging are a little haphazard and some of the lines fall flat but mostly enjoyable.
Anyone know what this film did at the box office when originally released?

I saw this movie on the Late Show in 1962 when I was junior-high school age. I didn't laugh. If I were to see it now I would want to retitle it "Let's Laugh at the Hapless Victim." ðŸ˜
As for the taxes... I guess someone had to pay for Joe McCarthy and all those bombs.
