...others who consort to slow the pace are the butler (Prentice Claflin). Doctor Finache (David Wilkinson), and Antoinette the cook (Honor Moore). Claflin ranges about the stage, making himself disagreeable to the other characters and to us. Feydeau devoted at least several tablespoons of wit to the part, and Claflin ought to do better. Wilkinson's failure is difficult to explain. Physically he is suited to the part of an aging man of science and affair who still has an eye for the chorines. Unfortunately he is always a step or so behind the action, looking on but stepping aside...
...descent down a side wall. Playboy Editor-Publisher Hugh Marston Hefner, 40, sinks into a love seat that has been saved for him beside the 15-ft.-long stereo console. His girl friend, Playboy Cover Girl Mary Warren, 23, slips alongside him, puts her head on his shoulder.

Love is the only problem she knows, and that is a somewhat half-witted affair, its contretemps based on misunderstandings that a TV-trained three-year-old could settle in seconds. The battle of the sexes is either mock or bittersweet; one lyric says it all: "We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes/But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes." All this is sexy...
...canopied cable car to her rustic aerie. The living room is furnished with stuffed bears, a cigar-store Indian, beaded rugs, totems, the war bonnets of Sitting Bull and Geronimo-all of which takes two servants four hours to dust. Each guest is assigned a cabin with one butler and one maid...
