I saw Simon in the theater when it came out (because I'd loved Arkin when I saw Wait Until Dark on TV).
I respect that reason. I believe I saw him first in The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming (1966) and then The In-Laws (1979), primarily on the strength of always having been able to quote "Emergency! Emergency! Everybody to get from street!" although "Serpentine! "Serpentine!" is a close second.
I remember almost nothing about it, though your review jogged my memory in places. It may have been a bit over my fourteen-year-old head.
It's worth trying again! spatch found a not terrible-looking rip on YouTube.
