...major characters, the ones for whom Shaw wrote, are Mark Mosca and Bonnie Brewster here and they both live up to every expectation of Shaw's. The roles demand a lot of nuance from their actors--facial expressions and the slightest gestures must be just right--and both are admirable. Mosca has a certain half-smile that he can turn into a scowl as easily as a self-congratulatory smirk.

Unlike the star of such '50s films as Tammy and the Bachelor, Carrie is shunning the girl-next-door image with some four-letter dialogue. "We have the same facial flesh," says Carrie of her resemblance to mother. "Cute. Round and cute. I think the reason they wanted me to do the role was the contradiction between the looks and the language. People don't believe you said it." Could her mother get away with off-color dialogue...
