Old Time Radio

One of the reasons I listen to Old Time Radio is that I get to hear my favorite stars voices, and sometimes in the radio version of their most famous movies. So, at Classic Movie Favorites I thought I'd add a section so you too could enjoy the favorite classic stars in these radio performances.

The following is a selection of the Old Time Radio programs available at this site:

Ronald Colman

The Halls of Ivy: Ronald Colman did lots of radio in the 1940's and 1950's. He is best known for his own radio program that began in the early 1950's, The Halls of Ivy. I love this program because it features both Ronald, as Dr. Todd Hunter Hall, the President of Ivy College, and his wife Benita Colman as Mrs. Hall. I have a portion of my Colman site devoted to this program and I upload new episodes weekly. Click Here to Listen.

A Tale of Two Cities: The film is my favorite Ronald Colman film. This broadcast from the Lux Radio Theater broadcast January 12, 1942, hosted by Cecil B. Demille is certainly worthy for any Colman or Dickens fan. Click here to listen.

Orson Welles

The War of the Worlds: This is probably the most famous radio program ever since it scared the whole country into thinking we were being attacked by Martians, broadcast on October 31, 1938. This production done by Welles, Mercury Theater is truly a must for anyone interested in old time radio or Orson Welles. Click here to listen.
