There's a movie from the 1960's called the Million Year Old Man that I was really excited to watch as a kid and I guess my entire family watched because when he was reanimated and discovered a flush toilet he was shocked and we all burst out laughting. Describe the movie, if it was based on a book or an idea at the time etc. thanks.
There is no record of a film from the 1960s titled The Million Year Old Man. No film with that exact title appears in film databases, archives, or contemporary reviews from that decade, and there is no known book with that title that a film from that period would have been based on.
What you are remembering is likely a conflation of several films with a similar premise of a prehistoric man being discovered and revived in the modern world.
The most famous prehistoric man film from the 1960s is One Million Years B.C. from 1966, starring Raquel Welch and John Richardson. It was a remake of the 1940 film One Million B.C. and was not about a man being reanimated in the modern era, but about cavemen and dinosaurs living together, so it does not contain a flush toilet scene.
The specific gag you describe, where a revived caveman or frozen prehistoric man encounters modern plumbing like a flush toilet and is shocked or confused by it, is a common comic trope that appears in later films with the same premise. The two best known examples are Iceman from 1984, where a Neanderthal frozen in ice is revived and has to adjust to the modern world, and Encino Man from 1992, a comedy where two teenagers find a frozen caveman in their backyard who is revived. Both films use modern bathroom technology for humor in the way you describe.
It is possible you saw one of those later films as a child and associated it with the 1960s due to the memory of One Million Years B.C. or a similar film being watched by your family at the same time. There were also many short educational films and television episodes in the 1960s that played with the idea of time travel or prehistoric men in the modern world, but none match the title and plot you described exactly.
