Radio review – Ford Theatre - Ep#16 “Girl Crazy” (1949) ****

Joyous version of the classic Gershwin musical, featuring great songs like "Embraceable You", "But Not for Me" and "I Got Rhythm". The plot has something to do with a New York playboy heading out west to redeem himself and clashing with the locals - it's not much of a book but it's fun and you have a good time. It's great when these old radio drama shows did musicals, they're an often invaluable record of old shows and good fun too.
