Radio review – SGP – “Pittsburgh” (1942) **

The war made coal manufacturing sexy so we have Marlene Dietrich, John Wayne and Randolph Scott in this rehash of Boom Town. They both love her; Wayne has the inside track until he becomes over ambitious and starts only caring about money. Anti-capitalism! Well, not really – it just pleas for capitalism with a heart. Interesting to hear Wayne in a non-sympathetic part (he does turn good but not til the end).
