...Madeline Webb lived on the soiled fringes of Broadway. She had had a shot at Hollywood. Before that she had been a college girl back in Stillwater, Okla. She was good-looking, the pouty kind with heavy, half-open red lips and a little girl's big, wide eyes and a kind of Hedy Lamarr hairdo.

Graceful English Leonora Corbett romps amusingly as the twitting first wife; Peggy Wood (Old Acquaintance) huffs expertly as the twitted second one; and Mildred Natwick (Missouri Legend) plays the medium-who in her trances is wild-eyed as a witch on a broomstick, in her waking moments hearty and chin-up as a Girl Guide leader -with prodigious humor and bounce...
