| | It Has Its Pros, but One Big Con Trips Up 'Sly Fox' (washingtonpost.com) |
 | | "Sly Fox," a flimflamming farce of multiple cons based on Ben Jonson's "Volpone," has primo character parts for clowns of various stripes. |
 | | "Sly Fox" is first, last and always about the almighty buck: Gelbart's shenanigans, leavened by one-liners of the finest vintage, revolve around the efforts by assorted San Francisco skinflints, leeches and grifters to part the equally parasitic Sly from his bulging wallet. |
 | | Pinchot, Dishy and Auberjonois, as Sly's avaricious lawyer, accountant and pawnbroker, respectively, seem to waltz through their scenes with dollar signs in their eyes. |
