Radio Adaptations Of Two Memorable Movies

During the 1940's when radio was king it was popular to transcribe popular current movies to radio scripts to be performed by stars of the original films. On this CD we have two such transcriptions featuring the original artists. Laura stars Dana Andrews; Gene Tierney; Vincent Price and Otto Kruger. Laura won an Oscar for best cinematography and four nominations. The soundtrack featured two great American standards You Go To My Head and the title tune Laura. The actress Hedy Lamarr was originally cast for the part of Laura and later when she was asked why she turned it down, she replied They sent me the script, not the score. The Best Years Of Our Lives stars Dana Andrews and Janet Waldo. The Best Years Of Our Lives was even more successful and won eight Oscars and one nomination, as well as another thirteen awards including Baftas and Golden Globes.
