If you...The Shaggy Dog is very entertaining indeed. If you've seen the Walt Disney comedies of the late 60s and early 1970s then you'll see where they got most of the slapstick routines from. This movie really started it all in terms of Disney's live-action comedies.

Yes, it does stand out as a fluke but it really could be called a "spy" film, if you associate it with comedy spy films of the 50s and 60s, like Paris Holiday or The Glass Bottom Boat ( oh shucks, those would have been great films to write about too ). I hope you enjoy the film when you get a chance to see it!

I thought it rather neat that this was the film that got Disney started on making all of those clever movable titles that they were famous for later. Be sure to check it out again the next time it plays on tv!

He was reliable though and I think the studios knew that if they ever needed a leading man quickly, pick MacMurray and he'll be there!

I never watched My Three Sons growing up, but my sister and I use to watch The Shaggy Dog and The Absent Minded Professor so often that I always associated MacMurray with comedy. It wasn't till later that we found out what a great dramatic actor he was as well.

I had no idea it was such a commercial success but, as you say, it broke the mould and offered something different, so it makes sense. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!
