Radio review - Suspense – “A Moment of Darkness” (1943) ** (warning: spoilers)

Peter Lorre takes a while to appear in this but once he does he makes up for lost time with an entertaining performance as a clairvoyant who is probably shonky and trying to rip off a woman in Monte Carlo. Before then, George Zucco also on hand to add some smooth villainy (or is it smooth heroism) in an entertaining mystery. Lorre’s revelation at the end that he’s undercover is reminiscent of the Mr Moto films.
