Radio review – TGA#130 – “The Damask Cheek” (1952) **

Really, really boring comedy set in 1910 New York with Rosalind Russell was a woman back from England who gets involved in the love-life of a man she’s known since she was a child (Kevin McCarthy). He has a thing for fast women and is engaged to an actress; Russell loves him even though she’s his sort-of cousin, I think, which is yuck. The actress doesn’t particularly love McCarthy and Russell has money to buy her off so it’s all resolved very easily. Why did they write this? Why put it on? Why did anyone go to watch?
