...something like the better residential sections of Palm Beach, Fla. The ten-minute drive from the airport takes the visitor past block after block of modern houses that range from $50,000 on up to $200,000. This one belongs to Trujillo's son, that one to his daughter. Brother Hector, the nominal...
Another of Mattress' promising debutantes: Composer Mary Rodgers, daughter of famed Tunesmith Richard Rodgers. Reminiscent at times, her pleasantly fashioned score is never merely derivative. Veteran Broadway Director George Abbott sets a pace that is nimble without being frantic. Occasionally, Mattress' comic reach exceeds its grasp and good taste e.g., a scene in which the mute king tries to mime the facts of life for his son.

Douglas overwhelms him with irrelevant information, tempts him with a scrumptious Maryland crab salad, sends him tooting off on a tour of the farm with an oversexed daughter (Debbie Reynolds) who reclines invitingly in the first patch of tall grass she can find.

Three years later her iron-jawed mother died in her sleep...
...this case, has broken her hip and may never ride to the hounds again, so she has plenty of time to look back at her own willowy and willful stage. Should she have deserted her husband to run off with worthless Gerald? Should she have abandoned her illegitimate daughter to be brought up by a Belgian family? No, evidently, to the second question; the girl grew up to become the mistress of two German officers, and the women of the Resistance shaved off her hair. But a fierce, unfazed yes to the first; although life is unpleasant, it must...
