    Where to Watch

Sid Caesar heads a top-notch cast in a spoof of crime movies. Robert Ryan, Anne Baxter, Kay Medford, Ben Blue. Foster: Jan Murray. Bobbi: Arlene Golonka. Brock: Dom DeLuise. Whittaker: Richard Pryor (his film debut). Mike: Godfrey Cambridge. Archie: Bill Dana. Harwell: Charles McGraw. William Castle directed.

Small-time crook Caesar, suspected of possessing Mafia money pilfered by bagman Dana, is hunted by gangland boss Ryan. A mix-up of dead bodies and a case of mistaken identity put Caesar into a few funny situations. After directing wonderfully ludicrous horror films (MR. SARDONICUS, THE TINGLER), William Castle managed to inject a few laughs into this look at the mob by using a talented cast of Vegas old-timers and gifted newcomers.
