Maintaining friendly relations with Hungary was important, but what Engelbert Dollfuss apparently went to Budapest for was to allow Vice Chancellor Emil Fey to perform a few blunt maneuvers for which Chancellor Dollfuss did not care to be directly responsible. The Heimwehr, fist of the Dollfuss regime, had seized virtual control of the Tyrol and was loudly demanding that the little Chancellor live up to his promise to end parliamentary government and attack Marxism in Austria (TIME, Feb. 12).

But most of the cast have remarkably unfunny Irish accents, though their names are Irish. And Celt Robinson's lines have little Irish salt in them...
