Taking the affirmative, two Wellesley girls tried to define death as including "mental anguish," and dishonor as "only what a woman does against her will." But the Yardlings objected...
Perhaps Mr. Moss, in his whimsical way, is kidding. Perhaps he is really interested less in reality and illusion than in money, which most of his characters spend their time discussing.

In just the last few frames of one sequence a kitten appears to follow Helga out of the room, and by his cinematic control the director turns the kitten into a pure manifesation of the faltering...
