The scene where Evil Roy has to figure out how a shoe horn works in the civilized world is alone well worth the price of admission.
Sparkling dialog, fantastic sight gags, and a surprisingly sympathetic villain who wants to finally quit being an cruel bank robbing outlaw so that he can marry the beautiful newfound-love-of-his-life, the town's virtuous school marm. He discovers to his dismay that reformin' ain't quite as easy as it first may appear; it takes a heap of work.
The cast is outstanding--John Aston, Edie Adams, Mickey Rooney, Milton Berle, Dick Shawn, Henry Gibson, Dom DeLuise, Ed Begley jr, Pat Morita and in a wonderful cameo, Penny Marshall. With a multi-talented group of character actors, directed by Jerry Paris from a script written by Garry Marshall and Jerry Belson, who can avoid falling head-over-heels madly in love with this film?
And after all these years of anxious waiting, it's finally available on DVD. A heartfelt tip of the hat to whoever it was that chose, after all these years, to once again place it in the hands of a grateful public.
