Screen Directors Playhouse
The Ghost Breakers
by
Screen Directors Playhouse brings Hollywood filmmaking to radio, with motion-picture directors guiding adaptations of stories for the air. Each broadcast presents a self-contained drama, drawing on the talents of film professionals and performers to create a cinematic experience through dialogue, music, and sound.
The program’s appeal lies in hearing familiar Hollywood storytelling shaped for radio: scenes unfold through voices and carefully arranged effects rather than images, while the director’s presence connects the broadcast to the craft of the screen. Its repertoire ranges across dramatic material, offering listeners a compact showcase of stories and performances.
This recording presents The Ghost Breakers, a radio adaptation of the comedy-mystery associated with the 1940 film. Expect a blend of suspense and humor, with the pleasures of a Hollywood-style story translated into an intimate, sound-led performance.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
