I've had this film for awhile now and finally decided to watch it based on a strong recommendation. I'm surprised that this film hasn't been remade, especially by Eddie Murphy since it seems like he can't make a film that doesn't have himself playing half a dozen roles. No offense Eddie, but you could never put a candle to what Alec Guinness does in this film. He disappears into the different roles, never calls attention to himself and the result is fun, flawless, and never takes away from the rest of the film. It's a fun little yarn, even if it does have very little conflict going on. I liked it quite a bit.
