Classic Movies on the Radio

By: Lux Radio Theatre

Narrated by: John Wayne, Joanne Dru, Walter Brennan

This radio dramatization of the classic movie, featuring the original stars, aired on March 7, 1949.

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.

Enjoyed it! If you don’t have time to sit and watch the great movie this is a nice treat. It was enjoyable to hear the Duke and cast re tell the story in this format. I will have to check out a few others I noticed on Audible
