Publisher Description
This radio dramatization of the classic movie originally aired on November 30, 1942.
Screen Guild Players was the most glamorous charity program on the airwaves. The hundreds of thousands of dollars raised for the Motion Picture Relief Fund built and maintained the Motion Picture Country House, providing housing for former film stars who were suffering from health or financial problems. Eager to be seen contributing to the cause, Hollywood's best and brightest flocked to the program. At first, it was primarily a variety show, with its first broadcast featuring Jack Benny, Joan Crawford, and Judy Garland. Later, it became an anthology show extraordinaire.

I find it really hard to believe that the people who should be providing the blurb for this recording don’t have the ability to do a DuckDuckGo search to put here, so I’ll do your job for you:
This is the 1942 Lux Radio Theatre broadcast staring Barbara Stanwyck and Fred McMurray based on the hit Movie of the previous year staring Barbara Stanwyck an Gary Cooper, Directed by Howard Hawks, and considered to be one of the last pre-war Screwball Comedies. Main character is a Professor of English studying modern Slang for an Encyclopedia entry, and in the course of his studies mixes up with Gangsters, and a a beautiful showgirl. This radio type of radio recording was extremely popular in the prewar era and made the actors and stories accessible to everyone with a radio.
