...shouldn't. Mr. Douglas at least does a good gruff job on what emerges as a thoroughly nasty character, but Miss Booth, in what should be a congenial role, seems almost uncomfortable; her famous infectious warm-heartedness is unaccountably missing, as well as her knack for pleasant semi-singing. Jack MacGrowran, as the Captain's fairweather sycophant, Joxer Daly, makes a pleasant if repetitive performance out of his slight build, weasly face, and nimble-stepping cringe.

He berates his wife (rather justly, it seemed to some viewers) for disliking all those Hollywood parties, and he fires his loyal, loving agent (well played by Jack Klugman) in order to get "representation" by a large agency. Says his wife before she leaves him to stew in his own swimming pool: "You didn't get represented, you got raped...
