"Bull in a China Shop" is a comedy-mystery. Although the mystery side of the production plays an important part, the comedy side is the most intriguing. Let me pose the scene. There are five old ladies living in a boarding house run by another old lady. They are all spinsters. They develop, en masse, a huge crush on a nice looking young man who lives nearby, who, they discover, is a police detective in the homicide division. In an effort to meet him personally, per-sonally, they decide that if there was a murder then he would have to come by and they could all get to meet him. piay ine bireicner bearers m I not believe all that was takin f Diane Smith was h.
