I liked the music, scenery, and of course Carol Kane, but I didn't care about the main story or characters.  Steve Kloves wrote and Richard Benjamin directed.

I'd seen this two or three times before, although maybe not for over thirty years.  It remains a sweet, light, not-meant-to-be-taken seriously piece of entertainment.  (For instance, the views out windows are very clearly backdrops, and I mean in the rooms of the "real world," not the TV show.)  After almost forty years, there's obviously an extra layer of nostalgia, and I tagged as many then very recognizable faces as I could fit.  (Archie Hahn plays the Delivery Boy as well.)  Richard Benjamin directed.
