Mountie Radio #3 - Joseph Cotten (!) in MRS. MIKE!

9/16/2014

Woo hoo!  After the prime score of the Dick Powell Mountie film Mrs. Mike on DVD,  then to find the charming radio version from the amazing Lux Radio Theatre (which you can get on my other post HERE),  I really thought that,  beside reading the 1947 book (which is on my shelf, waiting to be read),  I'd had a pretty good fleshing-out of the story.  I was wrong!  I stumbled on a nice version of the Screen Director's Playhouse version of the story,  with a fun surprise!

The announcer lets us know, right at the beginning,  that "Illness has prevented the appearance of Dick Powell and June Allyson as previously announced".  The replacements?  Joseph Cotten and the stunningly radiant Evelyn Keyes!  Not that Cotton is preferable to Powell by any means,  but he's an awesomely different take on the character,  and on top of that, I'll take Keyes over June Allyson 100 times out of 100!  The little picture below says it all...
