...English cuisine, even more than the French, is most notable for its regional diversities, which Ayrton explores and exalts with expertise and charm. She tells how to confect Wiltshire lardy cake and Yorkshire hot wine pudding, chickens as lizards and rum roast of lamb (for the sailor's return) -not to mention belly-warming Bedfordshire clangers, Oxfordshire sweet devil or the great Melton Mowbray pie, which long before the sandwich was the foxhunter's favorite lunch munch...
Maggi-Meg Reed superbly plays the wisecracking chorus girl who takes Ruby under her wing (a resemblance to Joan Blondell certainly helps). The chorus-girl's argumentative romance with yet another sailor (Frank Pastor) makes Ruby's saccharine affair a little less cloying. Although conducted in a duet which dreamily imitates the worst of Cole Porter, Mona Kent's seduction of the wealthy Captain injects some welcome opportunism into an otherwise hopelessly unworldly world.

But just try being Popeye for a while, as Robin Williams did while making a Robert Altman film about the old gob, set for release in December. Not only did the actor have to master a vocabulary of malapropisms far more complex than the nano-nanos of Mork from Ork. He had to cavort under the fierce Malta sun, wearing thick rubber arm pads to simulate the cartoon sailor's anvil forearms. He had to squint perpetually out of his left eye, speak...
