Radio review – CP#44 - ”Vanity Fair” (1940) ***

A very fun version of Thackeray’s satire, fast and rompy. Helen Hayes is actually enjoyable as opposed to simpering (which she usually was when acting for Campbell Playhouse) and Orson Welles was a lot more at home with this sort of comedy than wisecracking stuff.
