I tried watching it and yeah, definitely that specific sort of it-was-funny-on-drugs silliness with wacky cameos. A highlight was the Harry Nilsson score, especially the fully-sung end credits.

I enjoyed watching it. I would not watch it again though unless it was with friends and booze.
If you are a fan of cinema oddities it is definitely worth seeking out otherwise you are not really missing anything.
Bonus the music is by Harry Nilsson who has a bit part as a prison guard.

It isn’t a great film, but if you wanna watch a Preminger directed film I suggest Anatomy Of A Murder

Ooo, I’m going to go watch Advise & Consent again. At least some of those genius scene-chewing Senate speeches.
Now, I want someone to CGI a moustache on all of them.

@smulder That is a fabulous bit of practical make up on Conrad Veidt as Gwynplaine.

A concerted effort to bury it by all parties involved. I heard about it in a book about box office disasters.

It’s Lee Meriwether in the video, not Julie Newmar. For comparison:
At the last minute was interesting to see William Dozier, the brains behind the “campy verson” of the Batman TV series; he was at the height (and close) of his career.
