Yep, that's the one.
One of the few Mickey Rooney roles I really like.

I heard on the radio just now, Carl Reiner is the last well known celeb from that movie. Although I don't think he had a major role.

Reiner played the radio control tower operator trying to direct the plane flown by Rooney and Buddy Hackett (with a passed out Jim Backus on board).

Jerry Lewis also had very small bit part.
