AN ALLIGATOR NAMED DAISY
(Rank-Raymond Stross) ) EITHER VistaVision, nor Technicolor, nor the strenuous efforts of Stanley Holloway, James . Robertson Justice, Donald Sinden, et al, can make ‘anything more than thin fun out of this piece of gow-grade gallimaufry. There are two isolated glimpses of real comedy in the whole laboured showone gives us a brief look at Wilfred Lawson (who saddles Donald’ Sinden with a tame alligator), the other shows us Stanley Holloway, as a retired general complete with shooting-stick, lost in the endless corridors of a millionaire’s country home. For the rest--throw ‘em to the crocodiles, I say.
