Radio review -Ford Theatre - "Father Dear Father" (1947) **

Ford try to "give back" by having an original radio play rather than borrow from the movies - there were plenty of original radio plays at the time but I think most of them were 30 minutes. This is a dull story about a sort of pompous city type (Ed Jerome channelling Clifton Webb) who moves to a small town and causes trouble for his ex wife and daughter. That's about it. Lacks jokes and charm.
