An important reason for bringing this film back (there are bootlegs if you look hard enough) is to show the younger generations that the post-modern bag of tricks was invented long before the 1980s or 1960s. We have breaking through the fourth wall, characters arguing with their creators or engineers, and a general refusal to obey the laws of reality not seen in comedies outside the Marxes. The comment that says a studio claims an old dispute as to authorship credit is preventing release of this film reflects an absurdity on the part of the studio that is beyond stupidity: not sure who the author is, so whoever he is his work will not be seen. How's that for po-mo?
