Tashlin's satire isn't, then, exactly progressive; race and sex are forces to be reckoned with here, but they're alien forces, whereas the white guy's feet never leave the ground. Then again, considering the attributes of the average American film-goer circa 1956, Tashlin deserves a wealth of credit for turning what was likely his primary audience into a limp-fisted cartoon whose shame is arguably greater than his pay-off.
