...retailing, and wrapping it all up in the fashion magazines. The interior decorator and the stockbroker's wife conspire over curtains. And the symbiosis is not limited to working hours. For many a woman with a busy or absent husband, the presentable homosexual is in demand as an escort -witty, pretty, catty, and no problem to keep at arm's length. Rich dowagers often have a permanent traveling court of charming international types who exert influence over what pictures and houses their patronesses buy, what decorators they use, and where they spend which season...
...Ford clan turned up in strength, and the whole thing could not have been more urbane. Mother Anne Mc Donnell Ford arrived on the arm of her current escort, Ted Bassett, a kind of all-purpose man about town who posed for photographers between Christina and Henry. Uzielli's parents, also divorced, were there too. Mama was wearing a Balenciaga, and Papa, who works with Gianni at stockbroking, was squiring his second wife. At evening's close, as the last of the Piper Heidsieck '59 bubbled away, Henry pronounced himself well pleased. "Great party, eh?" he inquired...

The rest is a comedy of confusion involving His harried boss (Donald O'Connor), Her door-slamming roommate (Nita Talbot), some cozy dinners (duck a I'orange) and other misfortunes. Put them all together, they add up to Funny Feeling. Take a couple of aspirins first and it'll hardly be noticed...
Hoss Sense. At all times, the star must stick to his public character. A TV cowboy or country musician does not, if he is wise, roll into town behind a screaming police escort or in a chauffeured limousine. The touring cast of the Beverly Hillbillies cannily commandeers the town's oldest car for its infield entrance. Jim Nabors, trained as an operatic baritone before he took on the title role in Gomer Pyle, cost the gate an estimated 10% by trying to sing classical arias at the Shelby County (Iowa) Fair in July. And Lorne Green's Shakespearean...
