Radio review - Lux - "Bride by Mistake" (1945) **

Laraine Day and John Hodiak were very much the B team of romantic comedy but they are amiable enough in this remake of The Richest Girl in the World from Norman Krasna.It's been updated for the war so Hodiak is now a soldier and is seems to make less sense that no one knows what the richest girl in the world looks like. Also Day's actions are basically repetitive and sadistic - continually pushing him towards her secretary to prove her love for him.
