...first is a monologue in which a funky voiced blonde bitch called Gloria (Sasha von Scherler), tells about the delicious party she just gave-serving up her guests in bite-sized morsels. People exist for Gloria to hold up and put down, and she delightedly pounces on a waifish little girl somebody brought, with so much hair, she explains, "it was impossible to see its face without trespassing."

Many other diseases produce similar symptoms, but spotted fever has one distinctive feature: it causes a measles-like rash on the palms of the hands and the soles...
Feiffer obviously intended to produce the blackest of comedies, but the laughs are treacherously lighthearted. What he does achieve, with the aid of a remarkably resourceful cast, is social observation that is as sharp as a shark's bite, and a highly contemporaneous sense of the unsettling transvaluation of all values...
