Only the sharp eyes of a visitor told them, on another occasion, that Mike Mansfield and Everett Dirksen had been conferring with...
...STAR-SPANGLED GIRL. Two earnest, impoverished and slightly manic intellectuals (Anthony Perkins and Richard Benjamin) are brought to their knees by an All-American girl swimmer (Connie Stevens) who has muscles in her head as well as her arms. While the whip of wit does not crack as in Neil Simon's past hits, he remains an agile jokemaster in the Broadway ring...
