...fair-haired Eileen, Goldenberg is sweet without being cloying. Clad in dainty, full-skirted dresses that contrast with her sister's more careerish two-piece outfits, she sings in a lilting soprano and radiates a natural charm that prevents her from being too far overshadowed by Terry's necessarily more pungent characterization of Ruth...

...STANDOUTS in a generally fine cast are Davis Goodman as the effeminate Wren and Sam Bloomfield as Mr. Paravicini. Goodman minces marvelously through his role as the child-like homosexual, and Bloomfield, clad in an elegant dinner jacket and bedizened with rings, gives a superbly controlled performance as the uninvited guest. Also good is Mark Howard, appropriately manic as Detective Sergeant Trotter. Nancy Abrams makes a stony-faced Mrs. Boyle, although her carefully accented syllables sound too much like metered poetry...
