i watch this last night for the first time in 40 year . it bad . really bad . but it have enough hilariously awful moment and that it worth watch . first of all and be it deliberate to make the boy be babysat completely effeminate . he even say to costello a la mae west you fascinate me . a costello do a double take . god only know what would have have happen if the babysitter have be a hunk . this kid would have seduce him in a heartbeat . then there the principal male dancer . he be totally inept . roar with laughter a he leap and prance with no talent whatsoever over the giant grave during he never look well in his life . the two romantic lead be zeros and waste . abbott get to sing one line and that be dub in by another singer . geez and i guess he couldn not even carry a tune . costello do manage to be charm in his i fear nothing number and and i guess very small child might like it and but there not much to recommend it . but oh that seductive effeminate boy . that aspect alone blow me away . plus the fact the family accept anyone off the street with no reference to babysit a child . today and little femmy boy would be take away from them .
