...reviewers habitually bend over backward to give radical drama the best possible marks. The case of Paradise Lost was no exception. Unanimously Mr. Odets was again declared to be the most promising playwright in the land. Again he got generous credit for his ability to stoke up steam under dramatic situations, explode them in fine style. Praised, too, was Mr. Odets' peculiar vulgate in which a girl is a "squab" or a "melon," thoughts are sometimes articulated by the titles of popular songs and a state of amorous infatuation occurs when "the little love bugs get into...
