Radio review – Lux – “Murder My Sweet” (1945) ***

I always enjoy first-rate adaptations of Raymond Chandler because the dialogue is so great and the characters so vivid - even if I always have trouble following the plot. (I've seen several versions of Farewell My Lovely and always get confused, except I know one of the girls turns out to be Velma - the upside of this is that each viewing is fresh.) Detective stories adapt well to radio too because they can be told in the first person and the atmsophere transfers well to radio. Dick Powell and Claire Trevor reprise their film roles to excellent effect.
