Mush bustle and improbable commotion completely fill the screen, and the ordered nonsense is a monument to the direction of Howard Hawks. He has filmed the hectic action without losing either reasonable pace or timing, and the result is a picture that does with clever dialogue what Olsen and Johnson do with pandemonium and underdone custard pies. The only possible improvement would be a more thoughtful spacing of laughs. One can easily miss several excellent boffs while recovering from ones coming just before.

TV, he argues, has a different pace than the stage and infinitely more mobility: "I use three cameras on each show and, in effect, have three prosceniums." TV actors become puppets of the director, since "an actor never knows when a camera might...
