The original stage and TV versions THE SPANISH PANIC, didn't have to resort to trick camera work! Each subsequent airing of "Mattress" became more and more self-indulgent.
I agree -- I don't like that sort of thing either. Someone felt a need to broaden the humor even further than the Broadway version, to the detriment of this version. Plus, why was it called the Polish Panic here?
Jane White is perfection. This is somebody who should have been a big star.

Embracing the medium in which a piece is being presented is hardly self indulgence.

Imagine how long it took to learn that dance and film it 😅
Enjoyed!
Why is it the Polish Panic? 😭
Because it's alliterative. Could have called it the "Canadian Congo".
