...Franklin, or even George. But Nanette Fabray is a sort of opera bouffant Jackie, generally lively and delightful. The story line at the center of the musical is a situation comedy roughly like TV's Stone Age comedy, The Flints tones. Father has troubles with his job and endless petty nuisances around the House.
