Radio review - BP - "Blithe Spirit" (1952) **1/2

Noel Coward's classic play is probably actor proof, which is why it's been so popular among amateur companies over the years. That's not to say you can't give an average production, which is what this is. John Loder plays the lead role and he's strictly average - so is everyone else except Mildred Natwick as Madam Arcadi. The ending doesn't have Loder die - he just takes off, leaving his two dead wives as ghosts.
