...under fire, and with six of the eight members on the team from the Class of ' 59, Pickett can only cross his fingers and hope that they are as good as they have appeared in practice, in their 34-0 slaughter of Dart-mouth, and their 22-8 romp over M.I.T...
Apart from the animal motif, Ritchard has staged the affair with the wit of a Gilbert-and-Sullivan romp and the style of a top-drawer fancy-dress ball. Bouncing about like a tall, elegant puppet, he lives up to the excellent settings by Rolf Gérard (including a hilarious-looking Dungeon for Recalcitrant Husbands) and he delivers the lines and lyrics of Playwright Maurice Valency's able English adaptation with skilled gusto.

Forsythe and Olivia romp through a standard Parisian romance-up the Eiffel Tower and down to the caves; along the Seine for lovemaking; to Notre Dame and the fashion shows. Along the way are substandard complications: Forsythe thinks Olivia has stolen his wallet; Olivia thinks Forsythe is trying to seduce her; Forsythe, eavesdropping on Olivia...
