...show lies mainly in the casting, which resulted in many first-rate individual performances. In particular, David Cohen as the long-suffering Morris, LaGuardia's right hand man, and Paul Hewitt as Ben, the slick local party leader, rate gold stars for both their singing and acting performances. Steffi Sackman is a pert and lovable Dora, and Greg Minahan is properly earnest as Neil, the young law clerk.

...servants and his toddling infants, all of whom gave the Nazi salute as Lord Runciman arrived in formal black jacket, wing collar and black bat tie. Herr Henlein turned up in brown tweed coat, grey flannel slacks and white shoes. Present was the German agent known as "Princess Steffi," who generally operates in London. There she has been hostess to Herr Henlein and to Adolf Hitler's personal agent, Captain Wiedemann (TIME, Aug. 1).
