Just wondering if anybody else around here is a fan of this film. I loved it. For some reason it was never released on Blu-ray. I think it is a hilarious satire that never fails to entertain. Am I the only one?

I'm aware of it, but never got around to seeing it.

I'm aware of it, but never got around to seeing it.

If you like satire, this is a killer film. Always makes me laugh. Not sure if it is streaming, I've never checked. I have it on DVD. It's also got one of the greatest credit sequences ever put on film.
