Dimestore Radio Theater’s Movies On The Radio Double Feature: Dick Powell Part 4

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat (The Digital Salon)

Summer’s ready when you are, and during this time of year, we like to give the staff a break, and air some longer stories that you don’t get to hear during the rest of the year. And, picking up where we left off last week, here are the other two features starring the incomparable Dick Powell himself, radio veteran who had quite a bit of range, as you’ll hear tonight.

We start off with the Lux Radio Theater presentation of the musical, “My Gal Sal,” staring Rita Hayworth & Dick Powell. When a small-town entertainer realizes that he needs a new town and a new image to make it in show-biz, he manages to impress a singer with his songs, who wants to use them in her act… but doesn’t really want anything more. Can he persuade her into a romance that crosses the lines between stage and real life?

Then, in our second hour, we offer you the crime thriller, “To The Ends of The Earth.” Dick Powell plays an FBI agent, out to stop drugs from getting into the US, and he’ll travel to the ends of the earth to do it. In a story that covers a number of locations, and offers romance and spy craft, this is adventure on the radio, and a good way to enjoy a Monday night.

All this, and so much more, on this week’s installment of Dimestore Radio Theater!

 

 

Enjoy!
