The world’s most impossible robbery… with the screen’s most impossible gang… in the years most hilarious picture! How can some terrible tasting fudge lead to a break in at the US Treasury (aka The Mint)? It all starts innocently enough as Treasury employee Verna (Dorothy Provine) makes some fudge for her coworker crush Harry (Jim Hutton). But when Harry tries to get rid of the not-so-good fudge, he accidentally destroys $50,000 of newly minted money in the garbage disposal. To cover up, they make a plan to break into the Treasury to re-print the cash. Helping in their efforts are an all-star cast that includes Walter Brennan, Bob Denver, Joey Bishop and Milton Berle!
“The performances of an unglittery cast are dandy, from Jim Hutton and Dorothy Provine to old-timer Walter Brennan and back to Milton Berle. The funniest is Jack Gilford, as a half-deaf safecracker. Mr. Gilford is simply wonderful. A fresh coating and zestful playing nicely flavor this obvious but likable romp with a contagious, merry spirit all its own.” – Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
