MINOR SPOILER You forget how primitive the movies were before the war. This is a classic example. The "F word" isn't used once (or even the "S word" or the "MF word" ) There is not even one humping scene and no nudity, frontal or otherwise. There was an excellent opportunity for a mad car chase with blazing guns and exploding automobiles when the professors flee across the George Washington bridge but no, it wasn't done. When guns are fired, there are no bloody bodies sprawled on the floor. Nobody snorts coke. None of the scenes are set in front of the urinals and none of the characters vomits. Six of the seven professors are bachelors yet not one of them is homosexual. And there are no product placements. Just one lost opportunity after another. Nope. The movies sure weren't as good in the old days. Wonder why they even showed this 60 year old flick... Wonder if they'll show many 2005 flicks in 2065... Hope not!
