Hollywood strikes agsin!
All that's kept of the Pulitzer Prize winning Kaufman & Hart play is the characters and the basic idea. Scenes, lines, ideas have been left out, and the whole thing has been rewritten (it was one of the team's most successful plays) and watered down until it's just mindless oatmeal. And scenes and one character added. This was a crazy family, not a home open to anyone who wanted to drop in. It is not funny, despite added television sitcom humor (like the "Home Sweet Home" sign constantly falling down, and anyone standing near it putting it back up). These are not people who just live as they please; none of them can do anything right. And what someone thought was the point ("tune in, turn on, drop out") is beaten into your head from the first scene. It is a perfect example of Hollywood's destruction of a successful Bway play. Like what it's famous for doing to musicals.
