New Series For RUSC: The Screen Directors' Playhouse

In The Screen Directors' Playhouse, many of Hollywood’s elite can be heard recreating their movie roles on the radio. This series differs from others such as The Screen Guild Theater due to the addition of director participation. The films’ directors introduce their work, often recalling how the pictures themselves were made and also what the actors involved have been doing since. Condensing a full-length feature film into a thirty-minute slot is understandably a difficult task but the excellent scripts of Geiger and Simmons ensure that full justice is done to the original material.

I have added the episode which opened the series on January the 9th 1949, to RUSC today. It is the famous western, Stagecoach directed by John Ford and starring the great John Wayne, Claire Trevor and Ward Bond. I will continue to add them each Sunday for your pleasure.

Happy listening my friends,
