Radio review - Lux – “Action in the North Atlantic” (1944) **1/2

George Raft helped Bogart become a star by turning down some key roles, so it’s nice to see Raft step into a role originated by Bogart. This doesn’t have much of a story – a ship goes on a trip, has troubles, they go on shore leave, there’s another trip. But it does have terrific slangy dialogue and even if Raft isn’t Bogart (something this proves yet again) he’s at least Raft and Raymond Massey and Julie Bishop reprise their film roles.
