Radio review – Lux – “Manpower” (1941) **1/2

George Raft and Edward G Robinson may have come to blows on the set of this film but they managed to reunite for the radio version, along with Marlene Dietrich. It remains tough, slangy entertainment with a predictable plot. It does lack a little something without those powerline visuals – you’re left to contemplate the story a bit too much – but barrels along.
