...actors work assiduously trying to put new bounce into a comedy written more than half a century ago by Georges Feydeau and Maurice Desvallières. Gina Lollobrigida, looking as delicately outraged as a piece of fine cracked china, plays the neglected bourgeois wife of bumptious Robert Morley. In revenge, she undertakes a night on the town with Neighbor Alec Guinness. The sly old seducer lures her to a disreputable inn where-true to formula-his promised evening of bliss ends up as a harmless orgy of slammed doors and mistaken identity, climaxed by a chase involving a fat lady...
...August 1965 burning a Vietnamese village. Were the pictures fair to the U.S.? To the Marines? Or was their message somewhat out of balance? In the end, it was decided that the pictures were simply too good to pass up. So, along with a narration by CBS Correspondent Morley Safer, Cronkite's audience saw a filmed report that represented most of what is best and most of what is distressing in TV's coverage...

The actual interpretation of the music -- balancing...
...thousand-faces. Wearing a bald pate and false nose, he pops his eyes, shrugs, affects a stiff little walk and a careful continental accent that slips unexpectedly into stage British-but the mannerisms never add up to the man Poirot. Anita Ekberg as a bosomy psychopath and Robert Morley as a bungling secret service man offer no noticeable help as they spout reams of witless dialogue set to tuba music. By the time the corpse count reaches the letter D, moviegoers hooked on murder-for-fun will find themselves wishing that the blobby Miss Marple had stayed on the case...
