Radio review- Suspense – “The Red Headed Woman” (1949) **

Not a remake of the Jean Harlow classic, alas, but Lucille Ball as a secetrary who after being dumped by her fiancee steals a gun and the company payroll (a la Psycho) picks up a hitchhiker (Desi Arnez) and comes to think he might be a robber/killer – but he’s just a ventrioloquist. A bit lame – not really funny because for most of the time you think he is a killer, and when he's reveal to not be one it's like "whatever". Fans of Desi and Luci might like it, or at least find it interesting.
