A great mixture of slapstick, farce and music. Zero Mostel is a treat as is the underappreciated Jack Gilford.

A funny thing happened on the way to Hollywood: A good musical-comedy lost much of its fizz.

Hilarious, stagey version of hit Broadway musical comedy.

The Empire strikes back in loutish, fun musical comedy.

Humorous to an extent, but lacking the bang you might expect from a big screen musical.

Perhaps the first modern film musical -- breaking with and even making sport of the theatrical artifice that had been bogging down the genre for nearly a decade.

The middling low-brow slapstick comedy overdoses on the brassy Zero Mostel hamming it up.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a classic in its own right. The songs are fun and the story is unpredictable (even if it does occasionally meander for too long).
