1948 Sat. Rev. 6 Mar. 16/3 Plotwise, it offers little more or little less of what-happens-next interest than may be found [etc.].
1955 Times 26 May 11/4 We gave what was, plotwise, a perfectly coherent rendering of Romeo and Juliet in 20-odd minutes.
1996 Loaded Sept. 217/2 It sort of follows this lady and her attempts to quosh [sic] her rampaging sexual thirst. I couldn't really glean much more than that plotwise.
