Radio review – Lux – “Undercurrent” (1947) ***

MGM weren’t known for their thrillers but they could step up when required (just like they could with Westerns, and gangster films) and this is a very enjoyable entry in that sub-genre, woman-marries-man-who-she-realises-may-be-dodgy (eg Gaslight, Rebecca, Suspicion). Katherine Hepburn is perhaps too sensible and strong where a weaker actor would have been more effective.
