not going to reveal any more secrets but audiences -almost roll ir: the aisles so funny are the scenes wherein mild man- nered Henry beeomei a great war hero and ultimately gets a decoration from the Secretary of war The ending may perhaps be a big naughty judged by puri-anical standards Tor it snows lenry and Ladyfish heading br the spawning grounds but Bessie is apparently happier with her George so perhaps we can forgive poor Henry There is one moment in the ilm that gave me a sort of shock though where in a dream sequence' Henry imagines himself as one of the members of the Continentals in Spirit of and in the boat as Washington crosses the Delaware and in other patriotic poses This is tampering a bit with something sacred to most Americans but the shock is only momentary and you real- ize that this is not meant to be irreverent for Henry really wants to be a great American latriot In other hands than Gubin's it might have been offensive but he saves the day
