Guest Co-Hosts: Tim Madigan, Otto BrunoBuonopalooza wraps up with Howard Morris’s caper comedy Who's Minding the Mint? (1967). Jim Hutton stars as Harry Lucas, a hapless Treasury worker who accidentally swipes $50,000 and scrambles to replace it before he’s caught. To pull off the fix, he enlists a motley crew of oddballs, including Dorothy Provine’s Verna Baxter, who’s more interested in perfecting her brownies than in breaking and entering. The ensemble bursts with familiar faces -- Milton Berle, Joey Bishop, Walter Brennan, Jack Gilford, and of course, Victor Buono.
Mike White, Otto Bruno, and Tim Madigan close out the Buono-palooza celebration with this breezy, big-cast caper.
