My kids didn't get the joke. In 1965, no one could ever imagine a telephone ringing in a theater.

That first sequence is hilarious. It wouldn't work on TV today because it requires a small amount of patience and concentration to take in the escalating gags which culiminate in utterly unanticipated gunfire -- remember he is in a Concert Hall during performance and at first it seems a ringing telephone alone is disruptive. It is too involved and elaborate to simply be called "slapstick." Does this style of humor still exist anywhere? \=- ]

This is pretty irreverent at times. I can't imagine that this version was seen on TV.

Nice to see the Mona Mccluskey clip - it was shown on my local station, Yorkshire Television in England in 1968/9.

I stand corrected. On Hank, Katie Sweet played Dick Kallman's sister. It was Linda Foster who played his girlfriend, Doris Royal.

7:18 when Don Adams (as Maxwell Smart) snaps his fingers, the Laramie Peacock music plays.
