Only that which I noted involuntarily: the elephants...
Directed in leisurely style by Norman Taurog against a good 1890 background, Mrs. Wiggs, as adult entertainment, rests on the wide eyes, the mobile mouth, the flustery gesturings of Pauline Lord. The homeliness of her acting is made more interesting by an undertone which partly suggests Lady Macbeth, partly an Episcopal bishop...
