Reqarding "Once on a Mattress" Maybe its because I am 64, yet still have a romantic heart, but I found nothing out of line in having the principal characters played by people in their 40s. Contextually, this was appropriate. And I thoroughly enjoyed Tracy Ulman as "Fred".
Tracy Ulman's performance in "I am shy" reminded me of the bold delivery of Ethel Merman.
Tom Smothers was perfect for the part of Sextemus, and Carol Burnett is her usual terrific self.
The young couple not only were well fit for their roles, but they also sang beautifully together.
I was pleased to learn that this is being made available on DVD. I see it as a keeper.
