In response to a comment on the cold weather, he says, "I think we'd better bring the brass monkeys indoors tonight," so smoothly that the Hays organization allowed the line to stay. William Gargan is Collier's ex-pugilist butler. Funniest scene is when Gargan, drunk, tries to get up courage to resign while Collier tries to get up courage to discharge him. Mr. Rothafel selected The Animal Kingdom as the first attraction...
