...domestic comedy, The Male Animal snapshots some familiar poses, strikes some reminiscent chords. Elliott Nugent plays the professor as winningly as he did twelve years ago, Martha Scott is helpful as his wife, and Cinemactor Robert Preston is fine as the just short of half-witted onetime halfback.

...toastmaster, Richard Preston, Chairman of the Finance Committee, opened with a few introductory remarks barely audible above the conversing and chair-scraping on the floor, and an invocation followed. Then the head table underwent a complete change.
