...past decade and a half to secure the rights of all minorities. Their aim: to protest a decision upholding the convictions of 24 Indians for violating fishing regulations in the state of Washington. Led by George Crow Flies High, a Hidatsa chief from North Dakota in buckskin jacket and pants and full-feathered headdress, the group ignored a statute banning demonstrations outside the court. Indian women let out war whoops. Others cried: "Earl Warren, you better come out now." Demonstrators defiantly sprawled over imposing marble statues, splashed in fountains, hauled down an American flag and smashed five windows...
...real monkey, a real myna bird and real sitar-strumming Indians. But not real acting. And certainly not much real camp. About the only amusing scene in the film is the entrance of Noel Coward, a minor character known as the Witch of Capri, clad in a brown dinner jacket and riding pig-a-back on a servant...

...loooo, my dear friends," flutes the voice. Blowing kisses, fluttering his large, bony fingers and rolling his eyes, Tiny Tim skips onstage like Bea Lillie in drag: shoulder-length locks, tattersall sports jacket decorated with a sheriff's badge, plaid shirt and orange socks. He always carries a copy of the New Testament and lugs a soiled brown shop ping bag in which he always keeps such talismans as a dime-store compact (he uses pale Elizabeth Arden foundation makeup), two notebooks containing the lyrics of 500 songs, and, of course, his "dear, sweet" ukulele...
