The beginning of it should be in mono and when she walks out into Oz in Stereo.

This was several years before radio was broadcast in stereo.

@@fromthesidelines With spectral editing and equalization, this broadcast (at least the full version, since this video cuts off at more than a minute before it ends) could have a DES (digitally extracted stereo) version made of it.

Who played the wicked witch of the west? It doesn’t sound like Margaret Hamilton

Noreen Gammill. Judy was the *only* original member of the film's cast to appear in this adaptation.

Betty Lou Gerson who plays glinda the Good here, is probably best known for being the original voice of Cruella De Vil in 101 Dalmatians

The Lion was getting good audience laughs, mostly channeling Bert Lahr. Perhaps he was doing facial expressions we cannot see. Extra points for whoever sang his song for _not_ imitating Lahr's accent (no 'if I only had the noive' here!) Too many high school and other local stage-musical productions we can see on KZfaq insist on the actor singing the song with 'noive' even when he doesn't talk like that the rest of the time. Funny that this adaptation restored a reprise of 'Ding Dong the Witch is Dead', excised from the 1939 film, after the demise of the witch, apparently recognizing its value as a transition back to the Emerald City.

I think it would be great to hear an audio program of the Back to the Future trilogy as well as some other movies like mrs. Doubtfire or Disney films such as Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast or The Lion King

@gloworm6387 Жыл бұрын

This is "Old Time Radio" & those movies aren't considered classic movies yet. But they will be some day. Maybe they'll do radio plays eventually, IF people are still interested.

A good many years ago, some science fiction fans at a California convention did a faux-Lux-Radio-Theater production of Star Wars (Episode IV) with not-bad imitations of old-time movie stars. Humphrey Bogart as Han Solo was insightful, since Harrison Ford's career has had more than its share of Bogartish roles.

Is it just me, or is it somewhat unnerving to hear the future voice of Cruella DeVille playing Glinda?

The cast are listed in another comment. Lux Radio Theatre often had other actors in the roles for various reasons. For a remake eleven years after the movie, it's not surprising the original cast weren't used.

Judy had a rough year- especially when she attempted to slash her wrists that summer, and MGM ended their contract with her after 15 years. 1951 was a much better year: she played the Palace Theater in New York, and continued to appear on radio {primarily on Bing Crosby's program}.

JUDY sounds fine!! This was just before her theatre comebacks at London's Palladium and NYC'S Palace Theatre; which was extended for 19 Weeks. And JUDY received a special Tony Award for the 1951-1952 Season.

@fromthesidelines Жыл бұрын

True! However, considering everything that happened to Judy that year, it's amazing she *DID* sing as well as she did.😃
