I’m 72 now, saw this with my twin sister when were were 12-13 years old. Our cheeks actually hurt from laughing for two hours straight. To me, it’s still is The Number One Comedy Movie ever. And that is saying a lot for me, since I am a movie nut. Lol.
@ Lewis Clark this my all time favorite movie as well- it was showing in a movie theater back in ‘79 when I was 10 years old and it was a field trip our teacher took us to watch - great memories
I'm from Coventry England and this is one of those rare laughfests that I can watch time after time. It's become one of my go to quotable movies of all time, some wonderful lines in there, absolute comedy gold.
Of the many things I love about this movie is the casting. Every damn character comedy actor from the 30's, 40's and 50's that was still alive, was cast. Just when you thought you saw "every one" another would have a scene. A great tribute to the glory days of vaudeville and film comedy.
The entire movie is non-stop laughs, but I have a great fondness for that line for some reason. The whole situation and his high strung nervousness and confusion is genius.
Frank Tallman was the pilot. Classic Hollywood stunt pilot. And yes he did fly through that billboard. Much later he clipped a radio tower cable trying to fly under a thunderstorm. RIP Frank Tallman.
"Now, the stick that you're holding there... Uh, that is... I assume that... Now men, are you holding that stick? Is somebody holding that stick?! Over!" "What stick?! Oh, the wheel! I'm holding it. We're BOTH holding it!"
"like dear old dad used to make" This busts me up every time I see it. I nearly pee'd my pants the first time I saw this. Classic acting all around, and seriously can anyone imagine a better actor for this bit than Jim Backus?
Right, Backus was great, and all the parts were cast so well and well acted! Even Milton Berle did a great job on a straight acting part, and with a superb director like Kramer, how could this movie not be a total winner? Even the music is marvelous.
@@wingatemose1182 It's an absolute masterpiece of comedy by consummate comedians and a stellar director, including wonderful music by E.Gold. This airplane scene has me busting my gut every time I see it.
As kids, my younger brother and I keyed-in on The Three Stooges suited-up as fireman in this movie. What a great time watching 👀 movie with our parents. I even remember going to the Blue Fountain restaurant for lunch before driving into Philly to see this movie at the Boyd Theater. It was an _event_ to be appreciated.
What a movie, saw it when it premiered in 1963? Still hilarious. What's so amazing is that this was obviously before CGI and all the many action scenes are amazing.
I, too, saw this in 1963 as a 5 year old kid. I was in awe!! Yup, still hilarious and, yes, action-packed!! What seems to pass for "comedy" these days just doesn't do it for me.
In 1963 I was only 4 much too young to appreciate. Watched the entire movie in 2010 and laughed my @$$ off at Jim Bacchus and this entire scene. A star studded, comedy packed masterpiece. Miss all these old movie stars so much and all the entertainment they brought to our world back in the day.
Wish Mickey & Buddy had made more movies together...they're as good as Abbott and Costello. "Who are you? The HOSTESS?" Naturally after the emergency landing, they have to get in Rochester's cab.
That open hanger the plane flies through at the 8:00 mark still stands at the Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma Co. Airport in Santa Rosa, CA. It now serves as an air museum.
Famed stunt pilot Frank Tallman did the flying. He made two passes thru the hanger and the film crew asked for a third. He refused, saying the were going to have to work with the footage they had.
I love the part when, after Jim Backus gets knocked out, the plane sways back and forth and - just for good measure - Backus's noggin whacks against the cabinet! BANG! Too funny!!
Poor Jim Backus didn't have any better luck traveling by sea either, his three-hour tour out of Honolulu took over three years before he got back to civilization.
Oh God yes! I was already wheezing in pain/laughter when he took that secondary header into the liqour cabinet! I about stroked out I was laughing so hard!!
@@bigal1863 "Stroked out"...yes! They just don't make movies like this nowadays. #1: "Comedies" aren't funny anymore, and #2, seems anything that looks real in a movie with lots of action these days probably isn't. This is a movie I can watch over and over again, and never tire of it.
The look on Buddy Hacketts face when the pilot Jim Backus gives him control of the airplane 🤣. One of the guys in the control tower “why don’t we just shoot em down and be done with it”!🤣🤣
Carl Reiner once said during an interview for the documentary "Something a little less serious" that in the scene where the plane buzzed the tower he was doing a shot (probably not the one that was used in the final cut) where he's directing the plane this way and that, he said the plane came so close that he pulled his hands in because he could touch the wing. The shot was done from a camera that was set up about 200 yards away. He also talked about how he did joke (That he claimed was famous) by yelling out "Make Up" to the distant camera. After the plane buzzed the tower, he yelled out "Underwear" because of the terror of the plane doing the flyby.
Also, Jim Stark's dad, James Dean's father in "Rebel Without a Cause". A way more versatile actor, than I think that he even gave himself credit for being. God bless you in heaven, good men, :)
1957 I was in Air Force ROTC and we got to go up in a C-45, the militarized Beech 18. I got to sit at the controls and was scared to death to just push the rudder a little bit, and the yoke a little bit, keeping straight and level, no sudden moves, eye on the horizon, at night, another eye on the instruments, another eye on the instructor pilot. He said I did okay. Whew! Many years later I saw this film and thought, THAT AIRPLANE CAN DO THAT???!
I never really paid attention to him until now-but when the Colonel first starts talking the 2nd man on the left in the control tower expressions are priceless as he listens to the Colonel ramble on. LOL Like 'Where'd we get this guy!?'
It's very hard to choose who is the funniest in the control tower. Each character delivers something special and the colonel wrapped up in the microphone wire is an absolute show stopper, "what the hell's with this wire here!" I'm done 😂
Reminds me of the scenes in Airplane! especially the one where the guy says we're all pulling for you,does anyone else have flashbacks to Leslie Neilsen saying that exact phrase?
I have seen this film a million times and the scene that I wait for is when the tower asks who is flying the airplane and Mickey says Nobody is flying the airplane.
Well, the scenes with Barrie Chase were pretty delicious as she dances around with that stony expression. I guess Sylvester was so dumb he just dances with her.
@@jjryan1352 That part was made for J B. Mr Magoo I believe came out before Mad World. Then Thurston Howle the third. Played the same in all three of the flicks
This movie came up every spring on CBS, and WE would have a family gathering during the day of cook-out in the backyard fond memories of the 70's😢.... meow MEOW Man
What you have to remember is that this movie was made long before CGI and other special effects. That scene @6:30 where they buzz the tower is real. It was a real plane with a really crazy pilot flying that plane. I also learned that they did not tell the other actors that they were going to do that. So whe you see the guys waving their hands as the plane is closing in they were not acting. That was real fear.
My parents took me to see this the year it came out (1963) as a 5 year old kid, at a place called the Cinerama Theater in Providence, RI, which was state-of-the-art for the time. I was in awe!! It's still one of my all-time favorites, and never gets old. Man, they really DON'T make 'em like they used to!
321snoot No, they sure don’t! I was born in ‘82, & just watched this for the first time last night! I look for older films b/c they were just better back then! I consider the 90’s to be the last decade of practical effects. Before over usage of CGI. CGI has its place, but I do think we are too dependent on technology these days. It’s cheaper, yes, but ya get what ya pay for. Some CGI looks good. They just go overboard w/it! This was a fantastic film, & I can’t believe I haven’t seen it before, but I was feeling down & depressed yesterday. This movie made my night, I was laughing so hard! Truly needed! I believe everything happens for a reason, & this movie was meant for me to see at a time when I needed it most! Laughter really is the best medicine!
@@ladyscarfaceangel4616 I'm so glad you watched this movie at just the right time, and that it had a positive effect on you. Nothing like a good laugh, especially a sustained one.

I got to watch Bob Hoover, the stunt pilot, perform the most incredible stunts at the Mojave air races. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message and he always completed the show with the same maneuvers, dead stick!
"What can happen to an old fashioned?" Jim Backus became immortal for me in that moment!
"NO ONES FLYING THE PLANE" !!!!!!
Yes, my favorite Jim Backus scene of all time. He was perfect for the part.
'It's the only way to fly' !!!!!

Yes. I appreciate Jack Benny's brief appearance; it's so in-character with his admirers' impression.
Plus new up&comers like Don Knots.
I was born in 66 and known this movie my entire life. I appreciate it more and more as I age. It’s incredible.
You forgot the 20s. The Three Stooges started in 1922.
Jerry Lewis was always ‘miffed’ that he did not get included in the cast.
My dad is 76 and I'm 33 tomorrow and I grew up with this and laurel n hardy n the stooges. REAL Comedy. ❤
“Hello down there on the ground! This is us up here in the air!” 😂🤣😂🤣

"What the hells with this wire?" OMG LOL - Fantastic writing and acting.
The entire movie is non-stop laughs, but I have a great fondness for that line for some reason. The whole situation and his high strung nervousness and confusion is genius.
I’ve watched that over and over and I laugh every time 😂
"What are you...the Hostess?"
I could watch this 100 times over and still never get tired of it. Comedy Gold.
It's my "happy pill" before bed.

Frank Tallman was the pilot. Classic Hollywood stunt pilot. And yes he did fly through that billboard. Much later he clipped a radio tower cable trying to fly under a thunderstorm. RIP Frank Tallman.
His partner Paul Mantz died flying the Phoenix in Flight of the Phoenix.
Try to find a book by him, Flying the Old Planes.
