Radio review- Suspense – “The Visitor” (1947) **1/2 (warning: spoilers)

Donald O’Connor is a guy approached to impersonate a kid who was apparently murdered in a small town a few years ago. Is he the real kid or is he not? If he's not they'd be able to tell he isn't, surely, even if it was three years ago and he went through adolescence - but if he, he makes a lot of mistakes and errors for someone who grew up in the town. It's confusing. Not a bad mystery though and it's fun to hear O'Connor as a gangly juvenile caught up in this story. Eddie Bracken apparently played the role in a previous version of the story done for Suspense.
