Appealing cast, including some familar faces AND (!!) Mark Harmon's beautiful mother! Not to mention, Dobie Gillis's father. Doesn't give "No Time for Sergeants" any competition, but a pleasant way to spend less than an hour--provided you don't keep pausing to look up everyone in IMDB.

Short second feature about a town ruled by a civic league run by an old woman who is against everything--but her next door neighbor, ZaSu Pitts, after a dose from an old bottle, makes a speech that outdoes the mom at the meeting of the Harper Valley PTA. Quite pleasant, with an interesting cast that includes Mark Harmon's mother, Elyse Knox, who could have played Donna Reed's sister (or maybe she did sometime).

Blah. I thought the screenplay was terribly written. It was way to long and at the end it just kind of fell apart. There was a lack of consistancy in the characters and lack of unity within the whole story line and some of the dialogue was pointless and just bad. Blah.

The casting choices were excellent. Kipling himself appears in the last scene to memorialize Din.
