Radio review – Suspense – “The Thirty Nine Steps” (1952) ***

Herbert Marshall was at his best playing cuckolds in tuxedos and isn’t the best casting as the virile Richard Hannay but for all that this is a reasonable version of the classic novel. Based on the book rather than the film so there's no blonde but there is the insane Scudder. Good ending with the baddies almost getting away with it.
