Considering that "This Thing Called Love" consists of three acts and not of just one, it sums up to a rather low score. Did it consist of but the second act, it would be admirable fare. For this is sparkling, light, touched with wisdom. It has all the attributes of good comedy writing. Unfortunately, there are also from Mr. Burke's pen two additional acts, sandwiching this good one. As in all sandwiches, the meet is in the middle...

Contrary to all romantic tradition Philip ("Red") Mohan comes not from the Lower East but the Upper West Side. Since "Red" Mohan flew a rattling "Jenny" plane from Juarez, a fortnight ago, to the rebel forces in Chihuahua with 400 Ibs. of nitroglycerine in the cockpit, a cigaret between his lips, and a pint of tequila (cactus wine) on his hip, he has been a hero to the rebels.
