Review of A Study in Panic

Dick Powell stars in this Four Star Playhouse drama about a local newspaper columnist who writes a column criticizing the panic that people had trying to escape from a fire. He gets an object lesson in panic before the half hour is over.

I'm in agreement with another reviewer who said there as too much plot for this half hour. Too much plot and not enough character development.

Still Powell, Dorothy Malone and the rest do what they can with it.
