When I think of the Chu-Chi scene, I imagine fathers who probably
came home with erotic images in their minds vs being bored with
having to sit through a lame movie with their kids. But yeah, nearly
impossible to understand what beautiful Anna is doing in a kid's
movie dressed like that--and positively burlesque on that table.
Let's just be thankful that some MGM exec approved that script.
Perhaps the producers felt this would be an intriguing and attention-
grabbing subplot--a loving and lovely woman being treated in such an
unbelievable manner by this fat and childish lout--but could they
have imagined the subplot would become Dick Van Dyke, cute co-stars
and a car that could fly? Oh, isn't it also interesting that a lot
more imagination, expense and creativity went into Anna's costumes
than the rest of the cast put together? Thanks for the Group, Len---
