Radio review – Suspense – “Death Went Along for the Ride” (1944) **1/2

Another good Suspense performance from Gene Kelly – I always get surprised to hear musical stars in non-musical performances on radio but when you think about it, why not? He’s got a strong speaking voice and acquits himself well. The plot of this one is reminiscent of Lucille Fletcher’s The Hitchhiker although without the supernatural element – Gene drives across country and becomes convinced someone is following him.
