Rattigan's career had its up and downs but it's lovely he had a last big fat old hit with this account of the Rattenbury case. It's set in the 1930s so Rattigan knew how people talked. The material is about sex, repression, people going crazy - so in his wheelhouse. It feels a little fresher with more explicit references to sex, hookers, cocaine, impotence and so on.
This is the 1975 radio version. It leaps around in time.
