Tony Curtis: Steve McCluskey
Phil Silvers: Bernie Friedman
Suzanne Pleshette: Chris Lockwood
Claire Wilcox: Penny Piper
Larry Storch: Floyd
Howard Morris: Julius
"Retread of the Damon Runyon standby LITTLE MISS MARKER featuring Curtis as the hard-hearted manager of a swanky Lake Tahoe nightclub owned by Silvers. Enter orphaned tot Wilcox, who latches onto Curtis and wins his heart. Thrown into this sudden change of lifestyle is Pleshette, who enlists Wilcox's aid in convincing Curtis that he needs a new wife, even though he's still avoiding the alimony payments from his last marriage. The movie's climax is a slapstick chase through Disneyland that is the film's real showpiece. Director Jewison (IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, ROLLERBALL, F.I.S.T.) was making his big-screen debut here after coming over from TV.
Released: 1962 Rated: NR Length: 106 mins

==========-----------------=================
Did you know Sleeping Beauty Castle drawbridge is fully functional? It has only been operated on special opening days. But this film shows the only example of the spiked-bottom gate being lowered that I know of. It's the film as a ghost from my childhood which caused me to research that gate to find out that it is called a portcullis. It's also the only time you will be able to examine the detail of its hand forged/peened wrought iron riveted through to the wood.
Disneyland had a heliport where the tour bus loading is today, and the "L A Airways" helicraft is documented departing Los Angeles International Airport as Tony Curtis says "...we'll be there in 15 minutes." Editing swaps feature shots of the tail and front as well and Red and Blue 4car Monorail indiscriminately as the camera leads/follows in the maintenance-of-way tractor. It's the beginning of what appeals and appalls Disneyland purists - such as inaccurately documenting both the Fantasyland and Tomorrowland tracks of the Matterhorn Bobsleds as a single lengthened ride and suggesting to film viewers behaviors and boundaries which would get real guests ejected all while capturing the colors and fun of vintage Disneyland - if you can ignore the hokey hat vendor and balloons on a stick.
The tiny grass plot circle in the Plaza is a far cry from the fenced bench surrounding "Partners" statue today, and the film recorded 16 frames/sec during the stuntwork of the Keystone Cops multiplied from the sax quartet. Tomorrowland at the hub features an Airlite payphone booth which mysteriously appears for a key scene featuring the fire engine and the 3chime whistle of the S.S.Mark Twain Sternwheel Packet Steamer. Then the booth vanishes back to normal in the rest of the scenes of that area. Editing also jumbles all the Fantasyland dark rides as Peter Pan establishment shot carries them away. The camera is loaded onto original small round Von Roll gondolas the Skyway to Fantasyland/Tomorrowland moments before the picture car giving a nice close-up in a launch configuration which would never be allowed on a safe cable loading basis and editing again confuses east to west. Rocket Jets are still on the ground ala Dumbo and the U-Control Flight Circle can be seen in motion over the shoulders near the Space Bar. Mad Tea Party (teacups) is in its second location near Skull Rock. There's no New Orleans Square and Tom Sawyers Island rafts load from Frontierland Wharf- "In the Out Door" begins at the only treehouse atop three rivers and ensues against flow on the barrel pontoons and rope bridge, and in the ultimate "Trip to the Moon 15 cents, sandwiches 14 million dollars" joke applied to leaving Disneyland with any change in your pocket, Tony Curtis needs a ticket to get OFF the island. Natures Wonderland is reduced to geysers and American Indian "Never-Neverland" walkthroughs (the films characters stumble about where guests should never-never go.) only to escape by running in front of the #1 locomotive and jumping aboard #208 the caboose re-emerging on #301, the first car of the Holiday seating train. And we are reminded that originally most of the Main Street U.S.A. vehicles were Horse-Drawn.
I have been unable to locate this film in local libraries and video stores, and it's not available from Amazon or Hulu.
The good news is 15 minutes of vintage Disneyland is only interrupted by one commercial break for those of you able to record from COZI TV (broadcast channel 4.2 in Los Angeles)
