Even the stock players are revitalized by off-center writing. The obligatory blond bombshell (Shelley Smith) turns out to be a Stanford-educated superachiever. The ancient senior partner (the wonderful British actor Wilfrid Hyde-White) is doddering ("I make my best decisions when I'm asleep") and autocratic, but often he proves to be the wisest person in the room.

In females, hormones were given to develop masculine characteristics, followed by the implantation of an artificial phallus...
