Radio review – SDP - “The Sea Wolf” (1950) **

Okay I’m starting to get sick of these half hour film adaptations by now – they are simply too short. Also on Screen Directors Playhouse they don’t seem really concerned in doing a good job – it’s like they go “we’ve got the star and the director, how much extra effort do we have to put in”? Edward G Robinson reprises his role – he tells it from first person for a bit too unlike the novel –and he’s effective but this is too short. Michael Curtiz appears at the end and makes fun of his English.
