The Old Time Radio Express rolls out of the station tonight with two more shows featuring the talents of members of the Mercury Theatre troupe - George Coulouris and Edgar Barrier.
 |
| Coulouris is great in the WWII thriller, "Watch on the Rhine", with Bette Davis and Paul Muni. |
Coulouris plays the title role in the B-grade detective show, Bulldog Drummond. Despite the fact that Drummond ran for 8+ years, it is much less remembered nowadays than The Adventures of Sam Spade or The Adventures of Philip Marlowe. The preservation of the majority of those shows on tape probably has a lot to do with it.
 |
| The film noir, "Cornered" is on DVD and features Edgar Barrier along with crooner turned dramatic actor Dick Powell. |
Barrier and his distinctive voice narrate a "documentary" on the Pacific situation during WWII. It's an interesting bit of radio, but if it's a documentary, then the term is used very loosely.
Enjoy!
