Everyone else is all right. Kate is a bit over the top. Hedda Hopper made the right move in becoming a gossip columnist.
It's a treat to watch him trying to keep his dignity wearing a tux which has boiled shirt that keeps popping open, all the while trying to eat a very fussy, very hot dinner which should have been served (if at all) during the winter, not the summer. The ice cream, when it arrives, is soupy and Fred Stone sips it just like was soup. It's the little bits he does that keeps this picture from becoming a soap opera. Attempting to eat a caviar appetizer, which is obviously not very appetizing, is one of those. BTW it wasn't just his comic bits. He brings an unexpected bite and depth to what could have been a very shallow character.
It's said that Hepburn and Stevens, because Stone was so good, expanded his part, which him added screen time. Very wise decision. I can't imagine anyone else as Virgil Adams.
