Radio review – MT - “The Affairs of Anatol” (1938) **

The sex comedy/drama of Schnitzler doesn’t adapt well to radio, at least not here – it’s hard to tell the women apart and the broadcast doesn’t quite convey the sexy stuff as well as seeing it in a theatre does. Also the minimal story hurts it on air. But Orson Welles has fun as Anatole who gets himself into all sort of a mess and there are some funny bits, like Anatole trying to avoid admitting he’s getting married that day.
