Clifton Webb is fun in this rather daft caper about a rather fastidious English literature professor "Sayre" whose blissfully routine existence is shattered when television starts showing re-runs from his silent film career. His onscreen characters, very much in the vein of Douglas Fairbanks or Ronald Colman, garner ridicule and upset both his daughter "Carol" (Anne Francis) and his college principle - "Dr. Coffey"…
