Rattling Good
URSTS of modishly elevated music suggestive of an A-class film epic prepared me to be emotionally nourished and technically edified by the NZBS drama To Have And To Hold. 1 was less prepared, in fact, pleasantly surprised (the music was so very elevating) to find it rattling good entertainment, getting off to a fine start with a ripe portrayal by Frederick Farley and Peggy Walker of Robert and Roberta De Winter, two hard-riding soft-living offshoots of a decayed family tree. The rest of the cast was entirely adequate, and the author, Lionel Brown, showed a gratifying awareness of what the radio public wants — plenty of emotion, plenty of suspense and a happy ending. And I did enjoy the simple Wodehousian humour so aptly delivered by, that ageing Wooster, Robert De Winter.
