Reported play review noting comic lines and romance beats
A roomful of light comedy featuring Miss Francis as a reporter turned writer and Pryor as a war correspondent with Ellabelle Moore providing comic relief. The plot has romance and mild sauciness, with Eileen Heckart and Lawrence Fletcher delivering solid support as the friend and henpecked husband. The reviewer finds the premise not especially naughty but praises the cast and laughs.
