Gary Cooper and Edward Arnold make that movie; the rambling bits of how John Doe is changing the country with the various bandwagon scenes are pretty weak.

Dude, if that's true that would be something I'd be proud of. I can barely fit into clothes that I bought last year.

Operation Petticoat (1959) - I just watched this crazy movie with my brother. So many laughs. It's so damn funny. I can't believe I had never seen it.

Allow me to recommend another Blake Edwards comedy, also starring Tony Curtis (along with Janet Leigh and...hot babe alert!...Linda Cristal!), THE PERFECT FURLOUGH, made a year earlier (1958). I haven't seen it in years but it used to play on local TV a lot. When I saw it, I immediately ranked it as the funniest Blake Edwards movie I ever saw.

How many of you live in the same house or apartment that you did in 1985? How many of you have the same job you did in 1985?

Knee jerk reaction might be that 1985 is not that long ago and the OP should watch Casablanca, Gone with the Wind and King Kong but those movies are 70 years old! Personally I think 25 years is enough time to call a movie old.
I have the same wife from 1985. Are you calling her old?

Ha ha. No, but since the divorce rate in the United States is 50%, there's just as many people that have the same wife as don't have the same wife from 25 years ago...statisitically speaking.
