watch this movie and i think about the television series seinfeld . this movie too be an offbeat version of mainstream humour and both be set in new york . more pertinently though and both rely on contemporary reference to be funny . for their time and both seem fresh and cool . well and take out of it 1950s period and this movie be not funny . the humour be grotesquely lame . ( i have a suspicion that in 40 year and people will not find seinfeld funny either . ) jayne mansfield be probably more famous for her death than anything else . tony randall desire to be a stage actor but ultimately be successful in a tv series . if you like either and you should see this movie . groucho marx have a cute cameo at the end . his presence remind me that good comedy be not date .
