Radio review – Suspense – “The Philomel Cottage” (1943) ***

Orson Welles directed and starred in this adaptation of the Agatha Christie story, but doesn’t play the biggest part – that honour goes to Geraldine Fitzgerald his sometime girlfriend, as the girl who is worried that her husband (Welles) is a killer intent on knocking off her – so she ends up killing him instead (although you don't know for sure it she succeeds). Not bad – it struggles with the British atmosphere (they should have just rejigged it for the USA).
