After Capt. Peyton falls out of the taxiing Tri-motor and is chasing it, only one of the three engines is running, the center one. A moment later when the Capt. Peyton is being chased by the taxiing Tr-Motor, all three engines are running.

I went to the movies as soon as this one was released

My friends and I laughed so hard. Even at age 10 I thought the movie was totally funny and engaging. Jerry Lewis was my favorite comic back then and I also liked the child actress Donna Butterworth. She and Jerry had chemistry. I loved the characters and I remember Sabastian Cabot trying to squeeze into or out of a car; too funny.

Whatever happened to Donna Butterworth? She acted in an Elvis movie and that was it for her. If anyone knows, let me know.
