In the restored vision, the driver (Phil Silvers) makes numerous attempts to drive back up the road but can't, presumably because its too slippery from the oil. The goof is this - the car goes on and on and on until it floats away down the river, but the loss of oil never affects the engine!

Commander 57 ◊ 2010-08-09 19:10	Quite true. BTW, this could also be a '47. Since we usually use the first year of a possible spread, will change this to 1947.
