Radio review – Lux - “High Wall” (1948) ***

A tormented crim who could be a murderer and the shrink determined to get to the truth - it's Spellbound redux. I hadn't seen the film, so when I heard Van Heflin cast as the possible killer, I thought he could actually be the killer, giving the piece genuine suspense... More so than the film, where Robert Taylor played the role - and you know he never could have done it. So this improves on the film, even if you don't quite believe Heflin hooking up with Janet Leigh, not very convincing as the shrink. Good, solid story though.
