Radio review – TG – “Still Life” (1947) ***

It takes a while to get used to hearing this very English story relocated to American, especially with Ingrid Bergman in the female lead. Bergman always had this persona of a woman comfortable falling in love with someone other than her husband, on screen and off, so you don’t get the sense it’s as massive upheaval for her in the way it was for Celia Johnson. It's still beautifully written though. Sam Wanamaker is the guy.
