...first casualty. They also serially entertain the young widow Sue Lee (Jewel, the singer). They are idiot savants at making war--without flair or even instinct but with an awful proficiency. At making love they are just idiots. They haven't had the example of the movies or even mush literature to teach them courtship. They hide their feelings as clumsily as they express them. "So, do you want to marry me?" asks Sue. Jake replies, "No, not too bad." And for a moment we see the sweet awkwardness Lee induced in Sense and Sensibility...
...fought a rearguard action against rock 'n' roll, which he considered undisciplined and musically simplistic. Only Freberg would have had the idea to satirize the Platters' Great Pretender by focusing on the hipster studio pianist who's forced to play the boring "clink clink clink" accompaniment.
