- <p> Although George S. Kaufman has rarely written a play all by
- himself, he has brightened many a theatrical season with shows
- in whose making he collaborated (June Moon, Beggar on Horseback,
- Dulcy, Merton Of The Movies). With Moss Hart the whimsically
- insane Kaufman touch has surpassed itself in producing Once In
- A Lifetime, a merciless, hilariously funny lampoon on Hollywood
- and the cerebral content of its creatures. The only possible
- adverse criticism of the play might come from spectators for the
- near savagery of some of the blows which Mr. Kaufman deals to
- cinema fold with his relentless jester's bladder.
