...show stops for a minute, it may never start up again. In The Ritz, McNally abandons the idiosyncratic comic vision he brought to Bad Habits (TIME, Feb. 18, 1974) in favor of old vaudeville and burlesque routines. Still, there are plenty of laughs left in those, whichever way you Swing. T.E. Kalem
