Hey, If Jerry Lewis can, why not Sid?, 18 December 2002
Author: Randy H. Farb (rhfarb@yahoo.com) from United States

This comedy has all the elements of the type of comedies Don Knotts and Jerry Lewis were performing in during the 1960's. An ordinary man gets involved with murder (I forgot to mention Dick Van Dyke). The comedy was tailored around the talents of Ben Blue and Caesar, with the other comics filling time. It's a pleasant comedy, but don't go out of your way.
