...group includes two daughters, the elder of whom understandably enough wants to leave home, and the younger who does so by marrying a Mexican. The hard, bright manner of Elaine Stritch in the role of the elder daughter provided the only relief throughout an evening otherwise drowned in sentimental goo. As for the performances of Patricia Bosworth, the second Muldoon offspring, and Gerald Sarracini, the Mexican bridegroom, they are workmanlike but nothing more...
...Fleetwood Malenkov gurgled "Goo goo" at a 13-month-old baby lying in a crib, identified a chicken in a picture book for the baby's four-year-old sister with the comment, "Chick-chick-chick."

...caterwauling voice and limitless energy of Lucille Ball. Burns & Allen have changed their script sufficiently to allow a place for their son, Ronny, who supplies an unaccustomed note of sobriety into the antic proceedings; Danny Thomas is still pumping up a smidgeon of wit through 30 minutes of sentimental goo, while Schoolmarm Eve Arden in Our Miss Brooks has switched from public high to private elementary school without making any great change in the standard cast or plot. The brightest of the new situation shows is You'll Never Get Rich, starring Funnyman Phil Silvers as an Army...
