Radio review – Lux#309 – "Virginia City” (1941) **1/2

Action stories don’t adapt well to radio for obvious reasons – this one at least has a decent story. Flynn repeats his film role but you do miss Alan Hale and Big Boy Williams; you don’t miss Miriam Hopkins but Martha Scott isn’t that great as her replacement. Some other guy takes Randolph Scott’s role – not a star, and I think that role needs a star. Still, quite entertaining, and a reminder that Bob Buckner could be counted on to come up with a good story.
