THE MOVIEGOER

At the U.T.

Rosalind Russell was and intended to remain for at least three months a virgin bride--her idea being to test some notions about marriage which she got from divorce figures. Getting his ideas from some figuring of his own. Melyyn Douglas planned to break down her stand up strike. The ticklish situation gets further complicated when an over-potent South American banker, the father of half his country, makes a loan dependent on Rosalind's pregnancy. Thus doubly inspired. Douglas adds to the lustre of his boudoir savoirefaire by a superb comedy performance which succeeds in making love find a way to the bedroom and getting Rosalind to march upstairs to the tune of "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight." The dialogue is entendre doubled and redoubled with a plot that leaps from one hilarious involvement to another. "This Thing Called Love" is a comedy definitely off color, definitely on the ball.
