Summary

Written in around 1885, Guy de Maupassant’s Little Louise Roque was one of his first psychological studies. Laurence Olivier plays Joseph Renardet, mayor of Carvelin, who alone knows the true identity of the murderer of little Louise Roque, strangled on his land. The outcome is a dreadful retribution.

"Theatre Royal" was first broadcast by the BBC in 1953 and was quickly taken up by American radio networks. It is the only radio series in which Laurence Oliveir starred.

Good dramatisation but the music was deafening

Good short story, decently acted albeit in the WW2 era translatlantic accent. The worst was the music which deafens you without any warning but maybe that's just my headphones.
