Radio review - Suspense - "Odd Man Out" (1952) **1/2

One of James Mason's most famous roles has the added benefit of his then wife Pamela playing his love interest but while interesting it doesn't make for great radio - the 25 minute running time means the loss of key encounters, such as with the painter who wants to capture his dying expression and the treacherous woman, so what we've got is a lot of plunking around in alley ways and speaking in Irish accents. Dan O'Herlihy is on hand for the support cast.
