...Live Wire (by Garson Kanin; produced by Michael Todd) rather suggests to Broadway the arrival of summer than the imminence of fall. If sometimes gay enough for the one, it is never good enough for the other. And it is never good enough-even in intention-for the author of Born Yesterday.

The central story, which sounds the most comforting note, begins as Boy-Meets-Girl in Act I, ends as Boy-Mates-Girl...
