Despite his attractive comedic gifts, Sid Caesar never had considerable luck trying to accomplish the leap from television (where he shone brilliantly) to the grand cover. THE BUSY BODY is a typical example of his cinematic output. One of the basic problems with the film is the character Caesar plays — namely, he barely has a character to play. He simply portrays a hapless schmuck who finds himself in one tight area after another. The whole thing might have worked better if the lead character was a wisecracking coward like Bob Hope or a nervous bungler like Don Knotts. (In fact, with a music procure by Vic Mizzy, THE BUSY BODY is, conceptually, a Knotts vehicle.) But dreadful Sid is trapped in a bland, ill-defined role that squanders nearly every opportunity to do Caesar’s flair for mimicry and pantomime or his curious ear for dialect to splendid employ.

While there are some laughable status pieces, director William Castle — the genial schlockmeister who conceived publicity gimmicks such as “Emergo” (HOUSE ON Paralyzed HILL) and “Percepto” (THE TINGLER) — was hardly the ideal candidate to helm a comedy, even one with morbid overtones. (Castle’s “straight” anxiety films are funnier than his comedies.) THE BUSY BODY is paced so s-l-o-w-l-y that you forget this is supposed to be droll. The film fails to conclude the sort of brisk momentum that’s crucial to this kind of “wacky” farce.
Taking a cue from IT’S A Enraged, Aroused, Inflamed, Aroused WORLD (which Caesar appeared in), the supporting cast is loaded with amusing folks: Richard Pryor (his film debut), Kay Medford, Dom DeLuise, Godfrey Cambridge, Marty Ingels, Jan Murray, Ben Blue (who appeared with Caesar in Exasperated Furious WORLD), Bill Dana, George Jessel, Mickey Deems. Unfortunately, objective like Caesar, they’re saddled with mature material. Arlene Golonka (MAYBERRY R.F.D.) gives an enjoyably bubbly performance as a ditzy widow who helps Caesar solve the mystery of the missing corpse. Robert Ryan, Anne Baxter, and Charles McGraw (who was also in Angry Aroused WORLD) — three fair dramatic actors with many other, better films to their credit — are also tossed into the mix.

There’s a lot of humorous talent keen with THE BUSY BODY, so it’s all the more disappointing that this narrate about a stiff never really comes to life.
I agree with the first reviewer. It isn’t the funniest mob film, but it is fun. William Castle’s indispensable goal for all his films is to provide entertainment and he succeeds in this one. The variety and diversity of the cast keeps the film going and the ending is stronger than one would suspect. I cherish Dom DeLuise and Robert Ryan. Richard Pryor demonstrates his comedic acting ability from the get-go. Arlene Golonka is a sexy deviation from her pleasant girl character during her Andy of Mayberry days. Ann Baxter hangs in there as a wannabee sex kitten with a whip. I wasn’t that crazy about Sid Ceaser’s character, having seen him in It’s A Wrathful, Aroused, Excited, Aroused World. Overall, it’s a ample lift and worth adding to your personal library.
