He begins to suspect that she has something not quite upright in mind. She smolders. He is within seconds of deciding that a lewd proposition is in the air.

To squeeze every last ounce of humor from the show, director Richard Engelhart has his cast play as broadly as possible, so that where satire fails, farce takes over.
