I thought it was better than the Peter Ustinov film. It was a bit over the top though. Maybe a lot. I kind of remember Mostel singing a off key Chinese song in the closing credits[I think]. I haven't seen it for many years. It was one of the obscure films that appeared on TV mostly in the 80's and early 90's and then was gone from view forever. It is a shame that it never came out on a budget DVD. With all the silly stuff that is reissued, I am surprised it never did. Did you like the poster on Wikipedia. I think it is pretty good.
