Dated heist comedy starring a dead pan Jim Hutton as a worker in the US Mint who decides to return money he accidentally stole by breaking in one night and printing new money. He needs a lot of help, and collects a motley assortment of comedy veterans for the job. The best part is the actual heist about half way into the movie which turns into a veritable slapstick comedy, everything that can go wrong does go wrong. They all wear a bunch of silly costumes and act their parts, for example Milton Berle is George Washington and Victor Buono a ship's captain. However, it's rarely funny and Hutton is a poor leading man.
