A Different Way to Enjoy the Classics,
This review is from: Old Time Radio Novels/Audio Cassettes/the Maltese Falcon, the Grapes of Wrath, the Scarlet Pimpernel, Rebecca (Audio Cassette)
This box set contains four classic radio programs, and the stories will be familiar to most listeners. Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, and Sydney Greenstreet reprise their film roles in the Maltese Falcon. It's an abridged version of the story, but works well enough. However, those familiar with the film and novel might find it a little disappointing, since it lacks their breadth. Rebecca features radio performances by Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh in this Gothic tale of a man obsessed with his late wife, and the new wife who must compete with her memory. This version works well, and it's fascinating to hear the Oliviers together. The Scarlett Pimpernel is the exciting story of an Englishman who tries to save the lives of those being guillotined during the French Revolution. Both Leslie Howard as the Scarlett Pimpernel and a French-accented Olivia de Havilland as his wife give terrific performances. The Grapes of Wrath is a good adaptation of the Steinbeck novel, featuring an unknown cast. It's well done, although not quite as interesting as the other three tapes. On the whole, these tapes are a great way to enjoy these stories.
