The Major and the Minor isn't horrible, but it's certainly not in the same league with Wilder's comedy masterpieces. To find this kind of stuff funny, one has to suspend one's disbelief quite a lot. I personally thought that the premise of a visibly grown up woman disguising herself as an eleven-year-old girl was a bit too silly.
Based on a single joke, the whole thing feels drawn out even at 95 or so minutes.
