Radio review - Suspense - "The Big Shot" (1949) ***

Burt Lancaster in a radio version of a sort of story he was often playing on screen around this time - a big lumbering sap who tries to commit a crime but gets betrayed by a dame. This has the benefit of being set in Mexico with some comment on Mexican US relationships at the time. Lancaster didn't have the greatest voice (he depended a lot on his physique for his power) but he does pretty well.
