This novel adaptation stood up well against Hitchcock's film version by inspiring its own visuals
There's always the same process when radio tackles something already well known in a film version. You have to peel back the visuals you're familiar with, and temporarily discard them, otherwise the radio telling, however fine, won't let you conjure your own.
