C+
This Richard Baer script doesn't work, although it is in a way the culmination of Season Two's trend towards people thinking that Ann is having sex with various men. This time the fourth/seventh/eighth/tenth richest man in America keeps giving her expensive gifts. Her former press agent, Eddy Edwards, sees this as an opportunity to get a play backed. Lew and Donald try not to jump to conclusions. And Ann is incredibly naive about the situation.
Arlene Golonka had played Jerry's bride Margie (later changed to Ruthie and a different actress for some reason), while she's Bonita Lesalle here. Joe Besser plays a Messenger here and would later be a Foreman.
The season averages out to a high B-. There are some pretty good, good, and very good episodes, and one pretty bad one.
