Radio review – Lux – “Spellbound” (1948) ***

Joseph Cotten is a good substitute for Gregory Peck (after all he played a mental patient in I'll Be Seeing You) but his Third Man co-star Alida Valli is a poor swap for Ingrid Bergman – as David O Selznick soon found out. The mystery and romance translate reasonably well, although it misses out on the visual stuff with the dreams, etc.
