Whatever may be said in the continuing battle of words of stage vs. screen, "Without Love," Phillip Barry's play of a few years back, has become as a motion picture far more entertaining fare than much of what clutters up the Shubert chain today...

The singing and dancing numbers are on the whole refreshingly lacking in Hollywood's normal polish; they have, indeed, a good deal of the seamy vitality of authentic floor shows. Even more authentic is Robert Benchley's sleepy applause...
