Reception [edit]
Vincent Canby of The New York Times thought that Kenneth Mars was "very funny" and that Harry Morgan "has some nice moments" also.[3] Variety wrote that the film "lurches from ane set piece to another, in a fashion that makes its 88-minute running time seem much longer. Conway and Knotts have perfected their bumbling routines to a very minor art course, but master laughs are supplied by boozer jokes, and grapheme names such every bit Jack Elam'southward Large Mac. When hamburger trademarks get master yock-suppliers, time has come up to look elsewhere."[4] Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times called the film "delightful," with "much humour and activity. Indeed, it'due south more inventive — and eventful — than the more sophisticated comedy-western 'Butch and Sundance: The Early Days.'"[5] Gary Arnold of The Washington Post dismissed it every bit "the latest uninspired attempt at juvenile comedy from the Disney studio."[6]
