Radio review – SDP – “The Spiral Staircase” (1949) ***

Robert Siodmark must have loved this radio show, he was always representing his films on them. This is actually an imaginative version of a film – confronted with a heroine who is deaf and dumb, they have Dorothy McGuire narrate her internal monologue. The result is an entertaining half hour. McGuire appears at the end, breathless and fluttery, praising her director to the skies.
