...that makes Joan Rivers look like a Buckingham Palace press agent. The palace protocol contingent, which readies the hospital for the Queen Mother's visit, consist of a midget (Marcus Powell) and a very prim and proper transvestite named Lady Felicity (John Bett). Yet, as the British humor magazine Punch noted in defense of the movie.

First came a piece in Reader's Digest (circ. 17.9 million), then a broadside from the top-rated CBS-TV show 60 Minutes (audience: 22.9 million households). In a scene that Protestant leaders were to denounce as unrepresentative, cameras panned a Methodist church in Logansport, Ind., and Correspondent Morley Safer intoned that members had discovered that some collection-plate money was being spent "on causes that seem closer to the Soviet-Cuban view of the world than Logansport...
