My Thoughts: "Creating a genuinely funny, memorable creation, Helen Hayes milks everything she can from this piffle of a part and does so with charm, wit, and warmth. Providing a humorous facet to this dramatic piece, she stands out amoung this all-star ensemble and finds the right notes to hit it makes for enjoyable viewing."
