...Your Love in Vain?" is the most popular song on the album-and the most mediocre. The trumpet-heralded introduction sounds smooth, all right, but the pastiche of instrumentals, background vocals and Dylan's lyrics fails to gel. The instrumentals and female vocalists in the chorus only serve to take away what power the lyrics have; in addition, the words themselves are not above suspicion, with lines like "All right, I'll take a chance, I'll fall in love with you" and the chorus "Are you going to risk it all, or is your love in vain?"

...used to rely on his rasping voice to carry him through the more strained lines-and it frequently worked. As instrumentals and background vocals become more predominant in Dylan's work, however, he can no longer side-step lines with a snarl. For example, the bouncy style of "True Love Tends To Forget" gives him no way to sing the lines "I saw you drift into infinity and come back again" without sounding stupid.

Who does he fall in love with but the sweet young sister of a witness to the murder who refuses to speak out and is being strong-armed by the actual killer, lately out of the joint...
Dear Inspector-The New England premiere of Phillippe deBroca's latest, a charming combination of love story and mystery. The combination doesn't quite make it, but the combination of Annie Giradot as the harried inspector on a big case and falling in love all at once and Phillipe Noiret as her college professor-lover. Entertaining and very pleasant, but don't go looking for a big mystery...
