At first blush it must have looked like a great idea-Lynn is a great big broth of a girl whose eye-batting optimism thinly masks a steely and ruthless ineptitude; Rita, with the wispy, downtrodden look of a disgruntled rodent, is obviously born to be picked on.

The fact that state lottery tickets are sold in the marbled halls of New York financial institutions is too much for some people. Texas' Wright Patman, chairman of the House Banking Committee, sponsored a bill to keep federally insured banks...
John Braden has designed an effective set, and his lighting is most dramatic. Lew Smith's costumes are, as usual, colorful enough to make a peacock blush and wonderful to behold...
