Radio review - Lux - "Sangaree" (1955) **

Dull melodrama set in post American Revolution Georgia, with Arlene Dahl and Cesar Romero falling in love amongst law suits and squabbles over plantations. Romero is a doctor who wants to work for the poor; Dahl has a nasty fiancee who wants the plantation. They all own slaves presumably so who cares? This sort of thing is okay on TV with colour and pretty Dahl and sets and stuff but on radio the creakiness of the story is well exposed.
