4.0 out of 5 stars
Great holiday radio play!!!,
This review is from: Radio Movie Classics: Miracle on 34th St (Christmas at Radio Spirits) (Audio CD)
In the golden age of radio, after a cast finished a film they would head over to Lux Radio Theatre and perform the same show for radio."Miracle on 34th Street" is the same familiar story, with much of the original cast. Edmund Gwenn reprises his role as Kris Kringle. Sadly missing is little Natalie Wood. The girl who replaces her has a somewhat screechy voice, and it takes away from the overall affect of the production. The music and sound effects recreate the atmosphere of the film. The radio version is abridged, and chimes in at an hour long instead of the hour and a half of the film. If you are going on a long drive this Christmas to visit some friends and family, why not take "Miracle on 34th Street" along with you?

This review is from: Radio Movie Classics: Miracle on 34th St (Christmas at Radio Spirits) (Audio CD)
I bought three Radio Spirits Christmas CDs and plan to look for more. I have not listened to an audio book, or vintage radio show in quite some time. This really is something that should be done in a family setting. Even at a large gathering. Imagine, it's only an hour, people in s room, silent, watching kids faces and wondering what they are imagining etc. Around the tree or fireplace. We must do it more.
Miracle on 34th Street is one of my favorite movies, and it is refreshingly revisited with the original cast. Recorded live in front of an audience, there are no retakes. The only downside is that Natalie Wood was replaced with another young actress, who was fine, however, this package is obviously misleading. With Edmund Gwenn and Wood on the cover, a scene from the movie, you expect her to be part of it. They could have simply taken a shot of Gwenn in another scene. But otherwise, a fun experience. They left the intermission commercial breaks in, which is fun, and short enough. Rounding the cd out to about an hour. You are essentially hearing it exactly as we would have heard it over 60 years ago! For some reason, this title is a couple dollars more than the others, but look closely to the Amazon special offers, as I got 4 various titles for the price of 3.
