Radio review – Ford Theatre – Ep#33 “Counsellor at Law” (1948) ***

Elmer Rice’s play is about a short period of time involving a top lawyer who is threatened by a dodgy brother, secret in his past, and unhappy marriage but his secretary is there for him. At the end he kind of finds redemption but doesn’t really – he still can’t give up the lure of the court room. This play was once very much admired but TV has covered this area too often and better since then – still, historically interesting.
