When she was five, Candy made her first appearance on the radio show, and when she got applause, the jealous Charlie said, "That's enough, folks. That's enough. Let's not let things get out of hand. Goodbye, little girl, get outta here." (The sly title of her book is a modest exaction of vengeance against such abuse from the wooden-headed dummy.) She said her lines perfectly, and she thought her father was pleased. But Bergen was a stiff, inarticulate man who found it nearly impossible to express affection physically or verbally.

Sturges' neat twists are retained too: the husband is still that paradigm of dignity in need of mussing, a symphony orchestra conductor; and while leading the orchestra, he still...
...Claude, Moore engages rival Stein in a spectacular "dueling violins" scene and sends the apprentice crashing into the tables. With equal case, Moore brings freshness and warmth to a potentially hackneyed older-jealous-husband-suspects-young-sexy-wife routine...
