A simple story told simply and well.
Director Bill Hurtz, who would later in his distinguished career go on to work on the brilliant and funny Jay Ward cartoons, does grand work here in tying the story together with great visuals and taught story-telling.
Alas as one of the reviews shows us there are thin-skinned people who will feign outrage because of Mr Thurber's desire to be simply humorous. While enjoying the film these people feel the inner need to throw out cant words like "misogyny" in order to boldly ride the righteous horse. Don't be put off the cartoon by observations like these. Just sit back and enjoy it.
And don't be mortally offended if someone tries to kid you a little.
