Radio review - Lux – “The Phantom Lady” (1944) ***

I’ve never seen this highly regarded film noir but it’s a pretty good story, with loyal secretary investigating the imprisonment of her boss, who’s been accused of murdering his wife. Convenient, huh? Female sleuths were not that common around this time, but certainly more so than they would be in the 50s and 60s. Ella Raines reprises her film role with Brian Donlevy stepping in for Franchot Tone.
