This was the last movie shown at our local theater before they went porno.
He was a nice person in real life. Got an RV and traveled around the country and met many people and just talked with them.
He said his buddies in Malibu could not understand it.

Leslie Neilson was a rather serious dramatic actor before Airplane!
