...Episcopal Church. In response to the Rev. Joseph Koci Jr.'s tongue-in-cheek demand for some $760,000 in damages and compound interest, Lloyd legalistically pointed out that since Revolutionary War treaty conventions exempted Britain from further financial responsibility toward her unruly erstwhile American colonies, the St. Pe ter's claim should properly be addressed to "the federal government of the United States or the state government of Pennsylvania, as you feel appropriate." But from his personal treasury World War II Brigadier Lloyd coughed up the original value of the fence-largely, he explained, because the presumed...
Gregory Ratoff, in his last screen role-he died last December-briefly brings the show alive and, as the curtain line of his career, disgorges a magnificent Ratoffian mouthful: "You vill pe itten py ze volchers!" Otherwise, the most remarkable thing about the film is its sustained improbability. Greco looks as appropriate in a jungle as a crocodile on the Champs Elysées.

Leigh Wharton, though a more than competent General St. Pe, is unfortunately British, forcing the rest of the actors also to try to sound British. Their success is not uniform. In a play where so much depends on the way words are spoken, on a smart and stylized production, the traditionally amateur blight of having half the cast talk like Winston Churchill and the rest like Ma Kettle is disconcerting...
