Chevalier is sly and charming as the invalid invalid. Gingold is pure gold as his nutty nurse, a suspicious spinster who sleeps with a large sheepdog in her bed and keeps giving her patient ambiguous invitations-"If you want a pill," she murmurs, "call me." Fast company, that, but Goulet somehow contrives to stay with the pace. And Williams, a young singer who looks like Bing Crosby and sounds like several other people, carries off the wackiest sequences in the picture...
...Marquis de Cuevas and Choreographer Serge Li far) fought a duel with ostrich feathers to the music of Claire de Lune. Minerva the black panther (Callas) appeared in a red wig to music from Weber's Der Freischutz and devoured a chesty white dove (Tebaldi).

Professor Cramer's trouble came in France. In the mountainous stretch between Le Puy and Valence, where swirling snows blinded drivers two years ago, the Cramers fell victim to the commonest of all traffic hazards, bungled directions, when they were sent down the wrong...
