I haven't seen this film. The cover imagery suggest a silly slapstick film with silly slapstick music. But I'll reserve judgment till the clips are available. Bernstein's previous (1960) Rat Race score is excellent.

It's basically a 'modern' (i.e., unfunny) version of 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'. I remember only one or two decent gags. You can skip the movie.
If memory serves, someone from FSM attended Bernstein's scoring sessions for this film prior to the score's rejection, but I can't recall who. Regardless -- looking forward to hearing this! Unreleased and unheard Bernstein... what's not to like?

I wonder if this means that Bernstein's rejected I Love Trouble score has a chance of being released now...
No, it doesn't. Your calculus is off.
I LOVE TROUBLE is Disney and licensing from them isn't forseeable even though Varese was lucky enough to do that deal that allowed that box set with GANGS, NATTY GANN and SCARLET LETTER.
I wouldn't rush to think Bernstein's score for A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT (Sony) is coming soon either.
(Welcome to another edition of "That's great! Now that you've released that unused score, I want this one!")
I actually enjoyed this film back in the day. It’s turn your brain off slap stick comedy. Don’t take it seriously and you’ll have a few laughs. Excited to pick this up.
I always thought this movie felt a little like Cannonball Run. Am I off the mark on that?
