Is This Love? smartly and honestly compares two couples, one who rushes into a marriage, and one who slowly and thoughtfully takes their time. Joe and Peggy are handsome, exciting, and in a really big hurry! They plan on eloping in order to avoid all the family hassles of a wedding. But they’ve only been seeing each other for a short time. Liz and Andy on the other hand, have been dating for over a year and a half and are waiting to marry until after they’ve graduated. This movie explores the difference between these two approaches to the big commitment, but the bias seems to be toward Liz and Andy, the slow and steady couple. Is This Love? contains some funny old fashioned moments and reveals notions of marriage in 1950’s America beautifully.
