...sturdy enough for Rodgers and Hart to hang on it half a dozen of their most charming songs.

Yet, although most of the scenes are winning in themselves, the show overall lacks direction and flow; it's missing a theme and a pattern. The numbers come in haphazard arrangement, seemingly without design, each revealing a neat moral cliche that could be more efficiently placed in a greeting card...
