Radio review – Suspense – “The Swift Rise of Eddie Albright” (1947) **

Phil Silvers is an elevator operator determined to impress a trashy girl; he gets his chance when he crosses with some gangsters trying to dispose of a corpse in the basement. Silvers is fine and the relationship between his character and an old gangster who regrets his way of life is surprisingly moving – more could have been made of it. It’s not really a comedy but it’s a lighter edition of Suspense.
