Not that it's the greatest film ever; but YF has basically no flaws, no "if only"s. I could watch it once a week for the rest of my life and still laugh at the jokes. Blucher!

There were quite a few members of US Missionary organisations there and some attended the screening in the Goroka Club. Some walked out, some stayed with us irreverent Aussies and laughed all night.
