Radio review – Lux – “Mr Belvedere Goes to College” (1949) **

Clifton Webb is good as always as Belvedere but they struggled putting him in a fresh fish out of water situation – Belvedere fits in too well as college. They try by making him a freshman and have to go through different rituals and rule but it just doesn’t have the satisfaction of watching him get one up on snobby townsfolk and bratty kids. The romantic subplot involves a girls student who is actually a widowed mother – Xolleen Gray plays the girl and Robert Stack is the guy.
