frakalot's review against another edition

This is a splendid bit of quick fun. I can't say much without giving away the whole short story but we meet a classy robot on a research assignment and hijinks ensue.
Actually I don't usually have a lot of fun with stories about song and dance but this one doesn't get bogged down in rehearsal town, the profession is used as a setting for the main character to try out some personality changes and I definitely had fun with it.

Got a bit n and realized this was going to be an analysis of the macho man type from the fifties and... I like Kuttner, but I just couldn’t.

Very sloppy. Occasionally funny. Like most public domain scifi, there's something very arbitrary and not well thought out about it.
How about a story about a talking robot imprinting personalities on people temporarily for research?
Ok...What kind of personalities?
You know. Famous historical figures.
Who do you have in mind? Napoleon? Alexander the great? Jesus?
Nah. The big guns. Benjamin Disraeli!
I guess that could work...?
Oh and also we'll have a screenwriter trying to get out of a contract with an evil company.
Wut.
