Radio review – Lux - “Salty O’Rourke” (1945) *

An Alan Ladd vehicle that isn’t really – the main character is actually the jockey. Ladd was short enough to play the jockey but I guess Paramount couldn’t see him as anything other than the hunk hero. William Demarest lends support and Marjorie Reynolds substitutes for Gail Russell, but whatever slight charms this had in the film version don't transfer to radio.
