...Office TNT Scriptwriter Stanley Shapiro and Director Blake Edwards (This Happy Feeling), two of the most promising young masters of movie comedy, have applied the formula with such style that the studio has been able to guarantee the customers exactly 287 (count 'em) laughs without fear of refund. And while the public rolls in the aisles, the professionals should take careful notice. Furlough is a definitive encyclopedia of comic cliche...
