Wild and Wonderful, which is neither, is a comedy about a poodle so revoltingly cute he makes Tony Curtis seem almost natural. The poodle Cognac, it develops, is a pooch who likes hooch and loves his mistress (Christine Kaufmann) with doglike devotion. Tony is a wolf who hopes to appropriate the mistress.

As Alabama lawyers saw it, this allowed even a single day's residence to serve for purposes of divorce so long as the plaintiff claimed "intent" to live in Alabama. All a lawyer needed in addition was the defendant's signed agreement...
With Mrs. Wolf as a star witness, the bar association has just held stern hearings in Geneva. Local Lawyers Edward C. Boswell and Jack Smith have been indefinitely suspended from practice. Suspended for two years: State Senator Neil Metcalf, charged with falking the residence of a New Jersey woman who got home just in time to present her husband with a divorce on Father's Day. Similarly suspended was Judge George Black of Geneva County Inferior Court, where investigators found a locked room containing hidden quickie records. Architect Wolf's own lawyer, Ned Moore, faces a further hearing...
