Radio review – Best Plays – “There’s Always Juliet” (1953) **

This might work if it were played by two big stars you really liked but the casting here is unknowns (Herbert Marshall and Edna Best played it on stage) so all you are left is with charm, little jokes, hardly any story: The plot is about a American man who falls in lovewith an English woman really quickly. That’s kind of about it. She decides to marry him at the end. You couldn't even call this a romantic comedy as it's not very funny and doesn't try to be. Written by John Van Druten who liked to write that sort of thing eg. Voice of the Turtle.
