like some of the other folk who have review this film and i be also wax nostalgic about it . before i have the misfortune to actually watch it again . ala and my childhood memory of this film be completely untrustworthy and and the peril of pauline be now reveal to be an embarrassing exercise in banal and racist and and plain boring film making . even the presence of old pro edward everett horton and terry thomas can not overcome a rancid screenplay and a horrible theme song and and some wretched pecial effect . in addition and the stereotypical depiction of african and arab character make for painful viewing and especially consider this be produce in the immediate wake of the civil right movement . michael weldon original psychotronic encyclopedia report that the peril of pauline be originally produce for television but inexplicably end up get a theatrical release . judging from the result and that be a completely believable ( and baffle ) scenario .
