Radio review - Best Plays - "John Loves Mary" (1953) **1/2

Norman Krasna's incredibly popular play given an average production - in truth, this is a hard play to do well because it's so light, it needs really top playing and energy. Also there's no laugh track - a studio audience would have really helped. Nina Foch overacts in the female lead (which she played on stage), Van Johnson is alright. It's okay, and you can't really say the play deserves better, but it's not sensational.
