It was the live television debut of Jody McCrea and one of the first television appearances from James Coburn.[1] PlotA naive man arrives from New York. CastReceptionThe Des Moines Register said it was promising "but never really delivered."[2] Variety wrote "The comedy elements were fairly solid, a. lot of ’ them coming through the deliberate use of repetition. Of course, once the pattern was established, there could have been a tightening up toward the end of the show, and some other tangent Introduced. But the other elements of the* layout seemed to work out nicely."[3] The Montreal Star felt McCrea was "engaging but hardly up to the strain of soliloquy as well."[4] Another review declared it "had some wonderfully light moments before breaking down in the final stretch."[5] References
