About this audiobook
In Hollywood’s Golden Age stars were everywhere. As well as entertaining us in the local movie theatre many of them came to our home, our very own living room. Here they would perform radio versions of big-name films. Screen Directors Guild was famous for the lavish use of stars in their productions. Listen now and find out why it really was just like having your very own film studio in your living room.
