...Director Paul Zimet has mixed a wacky fondue of bright costumes, absurd props and hi-grade ham. Masked soldiers rush each other with pink sausages for swords, dashing about like a Polish division of the Keystone Cops.

What was said in 25 minutes-at the first meeting since Edward abdicated his throne to marry the Manhattan divorcee-was "very private but very pleasant indeed." The Queen drove away laughing and talking gaily to an aide...
