Radio review – SG – “Edge of Darkness” (1943) **

Instead of Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan we have John Garfield and Maureen O’Hara. Garfield at least feels more happily cast than Flynn – he fits more into the ensemble. But the ensemble thing is a problem – it’s hard to tell who is who; it I hadn’t watched the film I think I would have struggled to follow the story. It lacks the complexity of the film version. The most effective bit is the taunting of the resistance that bookends the tale.
