'Chaos ensues' is practically an understatement, as Mr. and Mrs. Kellerman embark on a business trip to NYC and mishap after mishap assails the poor couple. After a while, all the misfortune and unbelievable predicaments may grow annoying and/or tiresome to some viewers, but I thought the whole ordeal was pretty funny. Jack Lemmon is hilarious; Sandy Dennis is over-the-top annoying. I'll bet the script writer had a field day writing this! All in all, this film deserves a place in the annals of ultimate screwball comedy.
