...thing the show makes amply clear: Hals is not just the painter of laughing cavaliers and gypsy girls. He is, in fact, more of a Dutch uncle than he first appears. Many of his women are as homely as a wooden shoe. He lived during the dawn of the age of reason, when the philosopher Rene Descartes, whom Hals painted, proclaimed "I think, therefore I am." Man as pictured by Hals bulks almost impertinently from the canvas, but often there is a glint of self-knowledge in his eyes...

A California Congressman gave away a $5,000 Cadillac as a door prize to attract potential contributors. Most thoughtful of all was the Michigan candidate who netted...
Impersonating a cowpoke, he accompanies a corpse to Denver, presumably because that is a crazy way to go to Denver, man. He also pretends to be a Swiss shoe clerk, a termite exterminator and an Australian police inspector, meanwhile seducing a wealthy old woman's beautiful companion (Camilla Sparv), who really loves him for reasons never made clear in the script. He is characterized throughout as an alley cat so charmless that one sullied female can recall nothing about him more memorable than: "He wears a truss...
