Shelly Duvall achieves a remarkable resemblance to the original Olive. Tall and awkward, her loose outfit and clodhoppers emphasize her rubber-legged shapelessness; the wishy-washy, quavering voice ring true. The other characters are instantly recognizable--but that's it. Comic-strip depth does not suffice for a full-length movie. Swee'pea (Altman's grandchild, incidentally) is an exception--a uniquely expressive and, of course, cute baby...
...white-coated figure poking fingers, drills or needles into the patient's mouth, with possibly a palliative lollipop or pat on the back afterward, forget it.

This year, Klein's own production company has taken over the show, with a resultant change of advertisers...
...Pearl River. Of course, no body is found, but Doc, who owns the net, pronounces himself pleased with the expedition: "I've never been on a better river-dragging, or seen better behavior. If it took catching catfish to move the Rock of Gibraltar, I believe this outfit could move...
