A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

A Funny Thing, while quite sexist, is still part of history. I believe that as long as viewers recognize the inherent issues in movies such as A Funny Thing, there is no real harm in watching it. Besides which, if we ignore the flaws apparent in our past then we cannot learn from our mistakes nor others mistakes and then we may well make the same mistakes again, like that Winston Churchill quote, "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." In addition, we can learn a lot from A Funny Thing as all movies are a commentary on the time period, and also we can learn how much the film industry improved since the 1963 epic Cleopatra.
