    "Theater of the Mind"
    What made the experience of listening to A Christmas Carol [Radio Spirits Version] (Dramatized) the most enjoyable?

    Lionel Barrymore as Scroge brought to you by Campbell's playhouse and with Orson Wells and the Mercury theater on the air Players.


    What other book might you compare A Christmas Carol [Radio Spirits Version] (Dramatized) to and why?

    Since this is a radio play from a radio show I would compare it to any classic radio shows and this is one that sticks out as a top Favorite and at one time in American History it was an Icon for every Christmas season. This is a great way to help you enjoy your Holiday season and Classic radio.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Like always when Lionel Barrymore as Scroge waked up and see's it's still Christmas day and thus he changes for the good old world


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    The production value that Orson Wells always used when doing anything he did. It gave life to a Dickens Classic story.


    Any additional comments?

    Orson Wells would always say Radio is an amazing Media as it's Theater of the Mind. This like all Classic radio shows is for sure Theater of the Mind.

    "Disappointing"

    The absolutely dreadful sound quality and the narrator's sleepy drawl and lack of energy totally ruined this wonderful classic story for me. One of only two downloads that I have deleted. Very disappointing.
