Farce that needs but lacks expert direction. Whole cast radiates subtle despair, as they realize Hoffman isn't up to this.
VOR:②
Maintains a zealous fan base to this day, which is mostly down to the appealing if under-directed cast and the attempt, at least, at modern screwball farce. Still: expendable.
