Little Black Book on Broadway in Dreary Fashion
Broadway critics pan the new play The Little Black Book at the Hayes Theater. Jean-Claude Carriere authored the Paris origin and Jerome Kilty adapted it. Delphine Seyrig’s restrained performance contrasts with Richard Benjamin’s flimsy persona as a lawyer. The action unfolds in Greenwich Village with farcical door slams and a hopeful but fragile romance. Milos Forman debuts as a legitimate director, but the production suffers from tonal shifts and lack of credibility.

Clive Barnes of the New York Times calls the play foolish and devoid of wit or humanity, while Richard Watts Jr. of the New York Post deems it rather tiresome. Both critics offer terse, mixed assessments of the production.
