first film version - This is Jackie Gleason version

Comedic story of Americans traveling in foreign countries, and the mis-adventures they run into along the way. Unlike another writer here, I like the 1969 Jackie Gleason version of Don't Drink the Water MUCH better than the later one starring Woody Allen, who WROTE the thing originally. In the original, the irony is that Jackie Gleason is a big and blustery loudmouth ( a real stretch for him) , but up until the end, not much gets accomplished, in spite of all his yelling and storming around. Also stars Estelle Parsons (Bonnie and Clyde) and Ted Bessell (probably best known as the hen-pecked boyfriend on That Girl). The debate to remake movies or Not to remake movies continues.
