Different Versions
I'm really surprised that this film seems almost forgotten, has received few posts here and been ignored for DVD releases. It isn't quite as good as Those Magnificent Men... but its still an excellent example of 60s epic comedy.
I should point out though that there seem to be two radically different cuts, unmentioned by IMDb.
The version shown occasionally on British TV is in my experience cut down to little over an hour and a half, from over two hours, rendering some of the plot incoherent and doing the film a grave mis-service.
I can't swear to it, but I think the VHS, at least in the UK, was also this shortened version. I wonder about the laserdisc version, mentioned on another thread.
