...haunted Lincoln's only stage door. He once spoke to Charles Laughton and still remembers that the actor remarked upon his low voice. When Bob Hope played Lincoln, Dick trapped the comedian backstage and said, "Fine show, Bob." Hope replied, "Thanks, son." Hardly a droll exchange, but enough to thrill Cavett. He recalls: "I thought, gee, if I were famous I wouldn't have to worry about being smooth like some of the jocks in my class, or about sweating when I danced with girls.

...fast. Smitten, I hungered to go back. Missed cues, memory lapses, technical distractions, the guest's curve balls, the occasional fumbling efforsts at easy conversation?all these had brought terrors, but they they were terrors shared by dare-devil drivers and talk-show hosts alike: they only heightened the thrill.

Thrill to A & H in a nude scene played in one-watt lighting. Chill as A is symbolically castrated by some sinister leprechauns left over from a ballet of yesteryear. Hiss the uncle. Chortle with a tipsy canon (Ronald Radd) and a tipsier abbess (Jacqueline Brookes). So much for medieval color. In dialogue. Playwright Millar has spared his audience the one line that...
