"A Funny Thing" - Should we watch it?

Despite the inappropriate jokes in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, I think it is still a movie musical that we should watch nowadays. This is because it is a comedy, so those watching it should be prepared for highly inappropriate jokes to begin with. One should never watch comedy with the expectation that something said won’t shock or offend them in even the slightest way. Also, I believe that the film is also a representation of the time it was produced, and changing things in it would change the original purpose and meaning of the movie. I believe that although A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum does make some off-color jokes, it is still simply a comedy made to entertain viewers, and it succeeds in doing just that.
