Radio review – Suspense – “The Philomel Cottage” (1946) **1/2

Lili Palmer does a good “scared wife” in this tale of a woman who begins to worry about her husband’s past – he was born in Sydney, which is an interesting angle for Aussies, and grew up in Canada. The crux of the story (from a short story by Agatha Christie) is that she's worried hubby is a murderer, but she turns the tables. Orson Welles did a version of this for Suspense in 1943 but doesn't act in this one.
