reviewer    roma torre     channel one
“the teacher, dr. pangloss is played by the always magnificent jim dale. here he does an infectious groucho routine as a nutty lecherous professor. dale takes on several roles with equal success.“

 

reviewer    linda winer      newsday 
“the irresistible dale, who switches breathlessly from voltaire-narrator to dr. pangloss, the teacher and other roles, changing wigs and attitudes with the joyful abandon that comes only from utterly confident expertise.”
