A fair enough premise for a one-man vehicle, but Hope is almost lost in a cast of characters that includes a slopstick baby sitter (Phyllis Diller) and her detective boy friend (Jonathan Winters), mouthing a script that contains relentless japes about little boys' bladders and big girls' figures...

But that made no difference to the Bourne study. The men were under relentless cyclic stress, which reached a peak every evening with the prospect of a night attack. One day when intelligence said that an attack was expected, 30% of the G.I.s developed "the G.I.s"-diarrhea. But all, like the medics, showed normal or subnormal levels of stress hormones...
