Orson Welles enjoyed success as a dashing mysterious lover in a number of productions, notably Jane Eyre and Rebecca – he no doubt would have played more on screen had he not gotten so fat. But here is it as a master criminal hiding out in the Casbah, and very effective he is too. Paulette Goddard isn’t quite so happily cast – she wasn’t the best actor, Goddard, but she was pretty… which doesn’t help a lot on radio. This is still pretty good silly fun and you can really imagination as to what the Casbah is like.
