Radio – Suspense – “The Defense Rests” (1944) **1/2

Decent story with Alan Ladd playing a role seemingly custom-made for him - a bitter ex-con who gets out of gaol. He goes to work for his defence lawyer - only to find out the DA who put him away is working with said lawyer. You could have fleshed this out into a full length feature with another subplot; Ladd gives a good performance.
