...their first triumphant postwar conclave, the Witnesses cast off wartime tribulations. In Germany, their disdain for human authority had tumbled 6,000 of them into concentration camps. In the U.S., their religious scruples against saluting the flag had vexed mobs to tar & feather them and burn their homes.

This is the play that seven years ago took both the Pulitzer Prize and the Critics' Circle Award, made the reputations of Gene Kelly and William Bendix and the fortune of William Saroyan. With Julie Haydon the only holdover from the original cast, it's still a very good play. Characters like the Arab and Nick and McCarthy are indestructible, even on the borscht circuit. Regardless of who asks it, "Did you ever fall in love with a 39 pound midget?" will always be a funny line...
