Excellent!, I do not merely just like radio broadcasts: I consider radio plays as integral in my solitary home, the extra reward of more than 1/2 the time these broadcasts feature the original cast associated with the film version. Thank you, Lux, Petrie wine, CBS, Hair Tonic cream and all others that these performers were enticed to deliver their talents, and of course, your dedication of this venue. Wish the contemporary actors would do the same. A very few today lend their voices to 'book and song,(most often cartoon characterizations). Performances of which I do enjoy these 'audio book' readings and the availabilabiliy for public consumption. Eat this poetry with vigour....ya all.! 💘.

"I'll read a book -- listen to the radio ..." I remember those days. How lovely life was before television took over and cheapened everything! People READ ALOUD to each other for entertainment in the evening. Can you imagine? These radio dramas fascinated me even as a toddler, and I love them still. It's great to be able to get back in touch with that vanished world.

I grew up loving when I could see a black and white film especially a detective story. Some I got emotionally attached to. It's great to find those films also had radio performances to advertise the film and original novels these stories were usually based on..

Radio drama is FAR superior to television. It allows you to use your mind as an extra "sense". Funny (not as in laughable, but interesting)- If I listen to an old time radio drama, I have a picture in my mind of how the room looks or the detail of where the scene takes place. If I listen to the same drama a year or even five years later, the scenery of where the radio play takes place is identical in every way to the first time I heard it. To me, that is a super interesting thing that happens in my mind. I have seen this film, but only AFTER I heard the radio play. But the scenery was different.maybe it's because I'm an artist? I dream in color, I have a vivid imagination. I just enjoy radio dramas over television 80% of the time. I have been listening while I fall to sleep for a good 20+ years. Give these a try. Most people just can't relate because t.v. has "broken" their mind to the point where they have become lazy. But if you are one of the lucky ones who enjoys these, you will make them a huge part of your life. They are campy beyond belief. But they are addictive!

Most accurate description of radio drama, I agree. We are utilizing a part of our minds others seem to neglect. Yes, television has nothing to offer me either, would prefer these radio theatre's anytime over television. We do have a more creative mind than a lot of people, as we are more involved in the arts. I just subscribed and looking forward to many more Lux Radio episodes.

When Clifton Webb played Lydecker in the movie he was called WALDO Lydecker not Paul. I wonder why it was changed? Hmmmmm!. I was prepared to miss Judith Anderson's Ann Treadwell, but THIS woman was more than adequate in the part -- sounded just like Anersin as a matter of fact. At any ate the is an excllent adaptation. Most of these Lux presentatiins were. I remember them well from my childhood, loved them then, and am deghted to discover they've stood the test of time very well. I loved the movies back then too, but HATE what TV became too soon after it was introduced.

Laura is one of my favourite films. I like the lux radio version but I'm afraid Clifton Webb is irreplaceable as Waldo (Paul ) and I really miss the music from the movie. I recently downloaded the sound track and in my minds eye I can see what is happening in the film from the music being played. David Raksin is the composer and he really does Laura proud

❤ okay now, it’s my head canon that this was Philip Marlow before he went into a private business as a private eye. Hearing his voice is so dreamy ❤ I have a signed autograph of his framed in my bedroom. Cost a pretty penny, but I have such a crush on him.

because dana andrews cracks about buying a fox fur (costly) for a woman he liked was more than he would normally spend on a "dame" & the other woman dragging him into furniture stores (hinting she wanted to get married)....was funny at the time! & when paul faints, you can imagine the sound effects guy dropping the bag of flour or whatever weighted contraption they used to simulate a body hitting the floor for radio looked like & that would be funny to see & maybe even the actor paul made a funny face when it happens... i picture myself there in the audience watching my screen idols so close up front act out the lines for radio....i wish i was there!

The other big laugh was when the detective reacts after Laura tells him she decided not to marry Shelby. It was a lot more subtle in the movie while it was played for a laugh in the radio version.

The Barrymore family were considered the Royal Family of the theater. Lionel, Ethel and John Barrymore were siblings. They each were great actors. Drew is the granddaughter of John. It's kind of sad that no one knows the great Barrymore's, but know Drew Barrymore.

I like the movie better do you know this is supposed to be exactly like movie but it wasn’t I think the distraction was hearing the audience giggle and laugh it just didn’t seem the same… somehow it seemed of, it could be that Dana Adrews or Clifton Webbs both gave much flatter performances but considering that it’s done in a room with people around a mic 🎤 it could happen the studio audience (yep people came to watch radio performances like watching a play but without the actual acting going on in a way) I can imagine why they giggled it would take much a look almost anything, but that’s what detracted from it.

a few things that bothered me in this. det mcpherson asks paul if he loved her & if she loved him. paul (waldo in the movie) never answers if he loved her & a good det wouldnt have let that pass & would have asked him again did you love her?! when interviewing suspects, every little ans tells them something. when paul asks to go w/det to interview her cousin, det asks him why? & paul says because my readers love this stuff...what???!!! she was your girlfriend, close friend for 5 years & you cold heartedly say its for your fans???!!! & the det says nothing to that??!! big red flag totally unnoticed. det mcpherson tells ms hunt to NOT call anyone because it would mess up his investigation, she agrees, but as soon as he leaves, she calls her dopey boyfriend, shelby. a young woman has been brutally murdered & murdered in her apt, wearing her robe, but she just had to call the boyfriend to talk about what happened. then when confronted by the det, she,with an elitist attitude tells him she'll not do anything she doesnt want to do. laa dee daa..& he looks at her (in the movie) with this...'ok, i understand & i find you even more attractive.." ugh. if this crush he has on her lasts & they marry, they would divorce in a few years miserable w/ each other. lol. ps. i still like listening to the radio version, watching the movie (have the dvd), admire all the actors, enjoy the music, & the story. im just a nitpicker! 😁
