Radio review – Suspense – “End of the Road” (1947) **

Glenn Ford in tough film noir mode plays a car salesman who falls for a married woman at which point I was assuming it’d be a Double Indemnity rip-off but then it takes this detour – the woman seems to kill her husband so he investigates her past. She’s not keen on it so he slaps her around – charming. The woman says “she hates men, all men” which could have been an interesting character, but not here. The finale is a shootout where the woman and her husband wind up conveniently dead. Ford has a decent voice.
