I still don't think this merited a two-parter, this time padded by Philadelphia sight-seeing, but I do like how Ann has to deal with her first big failure in show biz.  Lew has mellowed in the year or so his daughter has been in New York, and he gently urges her to go back.  Also, Donald has to figure out how to review the play without hurting her feelings.  Pete, who turns out to be an actress, has both comedic and serious moments, a nice showcase for Ruth Buzzi.

Jim Connell, who was almost 22 at this point, had played high school student Norman Crowley on Gidget a couple years earlier and is Harvey Miller here.
