Tony Roberts plays Jerry, the guy who falls in love with her while impersonating a millionaire; although he tends to sound like a young Walter Mathau, he's a pleasant enough fellow and this whole experience shouldn't be too much of a drag on his career. On the other hand, Robert Morse--whom I find fey and distasteful to begin with--is here quite genuinely funny. His second-act burlesque of a young girl in love is the show's one redeeming feature.

He records that his own first homosexual encounter was in a bathhouse where, "clad only in white towels, men prowl the hallways, groping each other in furtive search for instant sex . . . Disgusting? Yes, perhaps. Yet lasting friendships are quite commonly begun in bathhouses...
...should I be mad? And you, YOU can sure as hell see ME. Why just step back into the woods with me about half a mile and my dog'll trot along to drag you out after I'm finished with you and your goddamn measly worm-eaten carcass...
