A radio mystery show writer (Ruth Terry) and her friend, the show’s Foley artist (Mary Treen), investigate after the writer promises to solve a real-life cold case on the next broadcast. She is aided in her inquiry by the detective on a competing program (Frank Albertson), but finds she may have gotten more than she bargained for when a murderer strikes. Fast-moving and fun, with an effective lead performance by Terry and excellent support from Treen and Albertson.
Recommended. Otto finds this one pleasing enough to relax.
