Radio review - Ford Theatre - "Michael and Mary" (1948) **

Bigamy was presumably a bigger deal in the 1930s when this was originally written but it sure comes across as stale. Michael is a writer (yawn) from a tight arse respectable family (snore) who falls in love with Mary who was married to someone but has since gone missing. When she suggests they get married because it's a one in a thousand chance the hubby will ever turn up sure enough he turns up. He blackmails them (because bigamy can send you to gaol!) then dies of a convenient heart attack. It's as silly as it sounds.
