A late entry in the Hollywood-movie-adaptation genre, “Screen Directors’ Playhouse” stands out as one of the forgotten gems of radio’s twilight years. The program aired on NBC for just two and a half years, but during that time, the series impressed listeners with excellent scripts and casting decisions based more on radio aptitude than Hollywood star power.
The result is a series which deserves a far wider audience than it ever received in its original broadcasts. Now you can be part of that audience in this exciting collection of programs, ten complete hour-long broadcasts featuring the finest talents of both radio and motion pictures. As an extra bonus, each broadcast also features a brief interview with a well-known screen director such as Alfred Hitchcock and Billy Wilder.
