"We're sure getting some strange breeds in Ellwood lately," muses the marshal. "Remember that gunman...
...Party with Betty Comden and Adolph Green, a nostalgic anthology of their own works, is anything but elaborate: three stools for props, a couple of quick dress changes for Betty, one shirt switch for Adolph.
