Lame, but interesting

Perhaps in the wake of "The Boy Friend", this revival of Twenties fluff seemed a good idea, but the material is thin and rather embarrassing. However, it is great fun to see some great actors before fame had swept them up. There is Susan Sarandon, Estelle Parsons, Jack Cassidy, and most interesting, there is Stephen Sondheim serving as a piano-tickling narrator, crooning his observations laconically.
