...Hulk, though a little long and repetitive, is an object lesson in how to protest without falling into a dreary drone. His targets include the Vatican, divorce and the draft ("I have but one country to give for my life"). The spirit is so infectious that even squares may applaud the lines: "What's right for me / Would be perversity / In any state lawbook...
...given to him a striving for knowledge, that is, for critically evaluating reality, drawing one's own conclusions and freely stating one's convictions and opinions.

This popcornball backstage biography of Fanny Brice still contains lines out of the Late Show: "You're no chorus girl, you're a singer." "I love to hear an audience applaud, but you can't take an audience home with you." "I can't go-not like this."
