Radio review – Lux - “Only Angels Have Wings” (1940) ***

Lux was perhaps the most prestigious radio drama show of its day, for movie stars at least. This adaptation of the Hawks classic has Jean Arthur, Cary Grant, Thomas Mitchell, Rita Hayworth, Richard Barthemless, etc. This doesn't quite capture the flavour of the Hawks classic - you just need those visuals of the actors walking around being comfortable in their masculinity - but it's pretty close and it's rousing entertainment.
