Radio review – SGP – “The Mask of Dimitrios” (1945) **1/2

Peter Lorre gets a rare hero role as a writer who, looking for material, tries to track down a shady arms dealer (Dimitrious) – surely Graham Greene was influenced with this when writing The Third Man? Sydney Greenstreet reprises his film role as another shady type. Enjoyable spy thriller stuff; it was interesting to listen to this soon after watching Journey Into Fear, which also dealt with dodgy dealings in Turkey.
