Reseñas de la Crítica

"These radio dramas were...to become as popular as the movies themselves." (Hollywood Movie Memories)

"A lovely series to add to any film, audio or crime lovers’ collection." (Audio World)

"This is an excellent audio product that will appeal to the majority of audiobook listeners." (Talking Business)

This is for audiophiles and cinephiles

This set was a joy to me as I lay in bed with the flu. The stories are all abbreviated but with the original stars delivering the lines they became famous for. I have listened to some of the other playhouse performances of other movies but these are far better and wonderful to listen to. If you love being told a story with the best voices of golden Hollywood, then this box set is worth a purchase.
