Radio review – Suspense – “The Ten Grand” (1944) **1/2

Lucille Ball again registers well as a career girl who finds ten grand in her purse. It’s mostly told from her POV as a monologue – Ball says at the end she is told she says more words than any other actor in the series to date. For the most part this is very effective; I wasn’t wild about the ending with the guy claiming he was from the Greek underground without any proof – they allude to people being opposed to who he might give the money to, which could have meant communists, but the baddies are apparently axis agents.
