“But, of course, the main thrust of satire is delivered by Mr. Morse and Mr. Vallee—Mr. Morse as the lad who climbs the ladder and Mr. Vallee as the lunkhead on top. Seeing Mr. Morse in close-ups, as those wily expressions cross on his face and those wicked designs of Pal Joey gleam in his Horatio Alger-character eyes, is better (and I’m not chauvanistic) than seeing him on the stage. And Mr. Vallee—well, I can say nothing nicer than that he continues to improve with age.”
