Producer David Susskind, searched seven weeks in the U.S. and abroad to find a pauper (Johnny Washbrook) to match Rex (The King and I) Thompson's prince, coddled his show through three weeks of rehearsal.

There are Dupont-Dufort pere and fils, who always dress alike--the father trim and intelligent, the son fat and dull-witted; and they fall into the hands of a pair of cops, who of course also dress alike...
...series of outrageous disguises. The roles of his proteges, the ardent Hector and the morose Gustave, are well entrusted to Lawrence Spector and John Reese. Guy Sorel makes the most of his mainly silent role as the hen-pecked Lord Edgard. David Bauer is properly reserved as the older Dupont-Dufort; and the endomorphic slob the latter sired is highly amusing in the hands of Tom Bosley...
