Radio review - Lux – “Laura” (1945) ***1/2

Very strong mystery with many great characters – the enigmatic Laura, the tough cop who falls for her dead "image", the magnificent Waldo, the gigolo fiancée – and twists – the revelation that the girl isn’t dead, the finale with Waldo on the radio. Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews and Vincent Price all reprise their excellent film performances but unfortunately not Clifton Webb. They replace him with some random actor (Otto someone) – surely they could have gotten someone like Laird Cregar or Sydney Greenstreet? Still, this is excellent entertainment.
