This film was a treat! There was lots of innovative features. Landing during Mardis Gras was brilliant where A & C believed it was Mars due to all the creative costumes taken to be Martians. I don't think they have such unusual outfits today.
I don't understand other reviewers taking issue with them not actually going to Mars; they were headed there; they were going there; they thought they arrived there and the men left from there. The title was just a metaphor for going crazy.
Onto Venus where low budget special effects made future aspects looked remarkably advanced even by today's standards. There were clever foreshadowing tributes to later science fiction classics. However the giant dog was uninspired.
Having only women on the planet borrowed from the future "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus". I laughed out loud more often than their earlier classics in scenes such as when the Queen made the King sit on the truth throne and asked him questions.
Has anyone else noticed how Derek Waters (Drunk History) looks like Costello?
