Radio review – Suspense – “The Strange Death of Gordon Fitzroy” (1946) ***

Chester Morris was a sort of semi-name back in the day, and he has a strong, tough voice perfect for this story: he plays a crim just out of the slammer with a distorted face who is desperate for revenge against his former partner. Chester is good with the snarling, bitter stuff and there’s a great twist ending where they think Chester is his former partner and put his former partner’s face on Chester! It really works because its radio and you can use your imagination.
