...music, story, staging and orchestral playing. The plot concerns a young man on his wedding night, whose troubles are due more to ignorance than lack of cooperation by his bride.

...does so by marrying a Mexican. The hard, bright manner of Elaine Stritch in the role of the elder daughter provided the only relief throughout an evening otherwise drowned in sentimental goo. As for the performances of Patricia Bosworth, the second Muldoon offspring, and Gerald Sarracini, the Mexican bridegroom, they are workmanlike but nothing more...
