Radio review - Suspense - "Consequence" (1946) ****

James Stewart in a darker role than he usually played in screen, at least at that stage in his career: he's a harassed doctor, unhappily married to a shrewish wife and in love with a nurse, who gets a chance at happiness when people think he has died in an accident. He takes off with his girlfriend and changes identity, starts off a new life - only his ex wife tracks him down. He tries to kill his ex but his new one ends up dying instead. So he kills himself. Full on! Fantastic episode.
