Radio review – Lux - “Singapore” (1947) **1/2

Fred MacMurray isn’t the most ideal hero for a tale of amnesia and smuggling in the third world (it should have been Alan Ladd or Bogart or someone), but Ava Gardner is a perfect female lead, and the story isn’t bad. It works a lot better here than in the Errol Flynn remake Istanbul because of the whole fall of Singapore thing – that was a real excuse to bail on a country. Good junky exotica entertainment with a miscast star.
