Then too there is a question of aesthetics: the American taste may be broadening, but many people still recoil from an unattractive name. So a vocabulary of euphemisms for Cinderella trash fish surfaces. Dogfish becomes grayfish or salmon shark. For opakapaka, try Hawaiian pink snapper. Blowfish are sold as sea robin or sea squab. The huge, shapeless monkfish fetches a , higher price under its French name, lotte...
...though, this emotional barrage can be tiresome. Radford gives us endless scenes of Winston standing on a lusciously green hillside, symbolizing his longing for an ideal world.

As little Dorothy once said, "Toto, I have...
Constructing this elaborate seenario takes the first Third of the film, and it is a pleasure to watch. If director towards learned anything from his Pink Panther films it was how to set up a really big gag, and make the audience enjoy watching the pieces fall into place until the film blows up. In this case, the gag is the inevitable simultaneous birth of Rob's two children--at the same hospital--and it meets every expectation. Unfortunately, the madcap scene at the hospital and its aftermath only occupies the last third of the film, leaving a yawning nine...
