Radio review – SDP – “Calling Northside 777” (1950) **1/2

James Stewart as a reporter reluctantly investigating an old murder case and discovering an innocent man has been put in gaol. It’s based on a true story and at the end Stewart and director Henry Hathaway discuss the fact that the other man convicted of the crime was having his conviction revisited as well. Stewart’s got a great voice for radio and the story remains good, although this could have done with a bit more documentary flavour which made the film so enjoyable.
