Nothing dates quicker than yesterday's view of tomorrow, and this movie proves it. The design of the aircraft, the clothes, the rockets; everything is rooted in the late 1920s. How El Brendel got a starring role is beyond comprehension. Even allowing for the passage of time, the guy just isn't funny. However, for me the saving grace is the beautiful art deco designs of the sets. Pity they couldn't have squeezed in a colour segment for one of the dance numbers or the big scrap.
