Radio review – Suspense – "Rogue Male” (1951) **

Herbert Marshall plays the hero who is busted trying to kill Hitler and suffers a lot for it. It’s a great yarn though probably doesn’t adapt that well to radio since one of the set pieces – namely how the hero kills the baddie at the end – adapts better to visual than audio. It’s also feels choppy and the flashbacks to the love interest aren’t that well done. Marshall is ideally cast, though.
