Like I said, we’re ignoring most of the words in the thread title. Under those rules, that’s a pretty good entry.

Tony Curtiss sure, but hadn't Jack already done Mr. Roberts ?  Comedy, but a bit dark at the end.

Jack did Mister Roberts and Operation Mad Ball before SLiH, but I wouldn't call either of those slapstick. OMB is definitely screwball, though.
