Vintage Radio
Old Time Radio, or OTR as it is called, is a passion of mine. For thirty years or so in the middle of the 20th Century, a tremendous burst of creativity, technology, and storytelling was delivered directly to the imagination of the listener, the best possible stage of any performance. The BBC still does this, but the Golden Age of American radio is over, alas. Fortunately, Radio Spirits and a few other companies keep it alive.
The Great Gildersleeve: Marjorie's Wedding
The Great Gildersleeve: Marjorie's Wedding
Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve requests the honor of your presence at the marriage of his niece, Marjorie Forrester, to Bronco Thompson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Thompson at Summerfield Church on May 10, 1950.
Harold Peary, starring as "Uncle Mort," finds himself at odds with Bronco's parents, at loose ends with love interest Kathy Milford, and at a loss as to how to deal with Marjorie's impending departure. But, he's got trusted and treasured friends in Summerfield to help him through. Walter Tetley co-stars as nephew Leroy, with Lillian Randolph as Birdie, Earle Ross as Judge Hooker, Richard LeGrand, as Peavy the druggist, and Arthur Q. Bryan as Floyd the barber.
The episodes surrounding the courtship, marriage, and mishaps of Marjorie (played by Mary Lee Robb) and Bronco (played by Richard Crenna) are both heartfelt and hilarious.
Includes 16 digitally restored and remastered episodes, and a Program Guide by Rodney Bowcock.
