He evidently had the same yen that Sir Laurence Olivier recently satisfied in John Osborne's The Entertainer; and what's more, both Mason's material and performance were superior to Olivier...

Tackling the role in which Paul Douglas scored on Broadway, he proved he could do more than fire questions at TV contestants in isolation booths. In fact, he gave a smooth and consistent performance. His only serious lapse came near the close of the first act, where he had a heart-to-heart talk with his young son and reminisced about his dead wife.

Tackling the role in which Paul Douglas scored on Broadway, he proves that he can do more than fire questions at TV contestants in isolation booths. In fact, he gives a smooth, consistent and convincing performance. His only serious lapse is near the close of the first act, where he has a heart-to-heart talk with his son and reminisces about his dead wife.
