Tony Randall does a Peter Sellers, playing multiple roles. George Pal was behind this fantasy which as he himself admitted is a little bit of everything... a little bit Western, some Ancient World analogy, a little bit travelling salesman, a little bit newspaperman taking on corrupt townsfolk.
Arthur O'Connell is a less sympathetic person than normal. John Erickson is fine as the juvenile. Barbara Eden has surprisingly little screen time as the female lead. There's a young kid.
It's fuzzy and ramshackle but full of charm. You never quite know where it's going or what it's going to do.
There is yellowface.
