Classic Movies on the Radio

By: Lux Radio Theatre

Narrated by: James Stewart

This radio dramatization of the classic movie, featuring the original stars, aired on November 12, 1951.

The Lux Radio Theatre was one of radio's most popular series, attracting Hollywood's top stars and boasting a lavish budget. It began in 1934 by featuring dramas from Broadway, but there was not enough material to support the show. In an attempt to reverse the slipping ratings, the show was moved to Hollywood in 1936, where there was plenty of material and talent. In fact, filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille often served as the host.

Classic Jimmy Stewart

A great way to spend an hour of your time! I actually found this movie on TV after listening and the audbile version brought the story to life as much or more than the movie.
