...meaningful comic experience outside the L.A.-N.Y. show-biz axis, but it is full of the splendid physical comedy that is Director Edwards' specialty. And besides, most of the movie types he so viciously caricatures are portrayed with high, vile spirits by the likes of Robert Preston, Larry Hagman, Robert Vaughn and Robert Webber, the meanest-looking crew since the Wild Bunch bit the dust.
