...young couple, Nick (Richard Kelton) and Honey (Maureen Anderman), who join them for a savage 2 a.m.-to-5 a.m. session of show-and-tell are simply deployed by George and Martha as fodder for their internecine warfare. The words are tracer bullets and the drinks are hemlock, but the blood lust has an almost tonic ebullience...
Colleen Dewhurst and Ben Gazzara as Martha and George leer endearingly throughout with maddening control, periodically exploding barrages of verbal fire into vulnerable areas. Their conspiratorial magic transforms metaphysical ping-pong into a cooing and spitting that is pleasing to watch.

These flavorful characters are impaled on a toothpick plot like canapes. The story that should make the play go makes it stop -whether Waltzing...
...seduction of Bobby-Soxer Sally Kelton (Sally Forrest) is neither brutal nor particularly sordid. It is simply commonplace. By the time Sally knows that she is pregnant, her seducer has disappeared and she is already half in love with an upstanding young gas-station manager (Keefe Brasselle). From there on the plot follows all the steps of Sally's degradation and eventual rehabilitation with a kind of remorseless documentary fervor...
