Radio review – BP – “The Petrified Forrest” (1952) ***

Cyrill Ritchard stars as Alan Squires, with no one else famous, so the piece is geared to him. We have a lot more wafty dialogue with the waitress and talk of philosophy, less Duke Mantee. It’s not as exciting but the central situation so strong, the characters so vivid, that it still holds.
