Ms. Birri and I attempted to watch this seemingly endless turkey last night. We got about an hour into it and there was still an hour or so left.
For all of Sammy Davis's immense talents, acting was not among them.
During Sammy's many moments of hamming it up, I felt like I was watching an SCTV skit. I can imagine Sammy as a guest on the Sammy Maudlin show, and showing clips from his new film.
Well, fair enough. You can generally catch the rat pack on YT, where you can see them all taking turns to 'roast' one another in front of an appreciative audience from back then, some.
By the way, if I watch a film from a particular time, place and frame of mind, I will try to synchronize gears and match the same speed, flow or whatever it takes to get in the groove of the thing.

Have you seen this film, and if so, what did you think of it?
Haven't seen it yet. There's teasers galore on YT but the film itself seems only to be payware and I don't do Netflix et al. I really wouldn't mind seeing it at all, even though the ending flashed by in the sequence queue. Why show the end as a teaser, but not the film?

The film was on TCM recently, but I don't think Arthur Grant gave us a heads up.

Stick to the CD.
He was in an episode of "I Dream Of Jeannie" playing himself. Looked like an infomercial for his "I'm too hip for the room" act.
