Radio review - Lux - "Stratton Story" (1950) ***

Hollywood's favourite tormented all-American and perfect wife, James Stewart and June Allyson, are ideally cast as a farmer turned ball player who loses a leg and his understanding better half. Okay it's schmaltzy but the guy did lose a leg (even if it was because he shot himself in a hunting accident) and came back. Stewart has a superb radio voice and Allyson offers strong support. This film would have meant a lot to injured veterans especially after World War Two.
