...critic of the royal family, Lord Altrincham is both a Tory and a monarchist. Last week an Englishman who is neither joined the argument. Young Playwright John Osborne, whose Look Back in Anger was scheduled to open in Manhattan this week and whose sulky bad manners have made him the current darling of London's West End intellectuals, got off an angry outburst in the highbrow monthly Encounter. Describing the royal family as "a ridiculous anachronism" and "the gold filling in a mouthful of decay," Osborne denounced "Queen worship" as "the national swill" and no fit occupation for Socialists...

At least half the movie is made up of wacky little vaudeville routines, in which a stock Englishman and a stock Frenchman alternate the pratfalls. Major (ret.) William Marmaduke Thompson, C.S.I., D.S.O., O.B.E. (played by Jack Buchanan, the British George M. Cohan), is a cuff-shooting old harrumph who has left his best years East of Suez. Monsieur Taupin (played by Noel-Noel, a comedian who looks like...
