Our December series of classic holiday films continues with the cast of The Bishop’s Wife - the heavenly comedy about a beleaguered bishop, his supportive wife, and the angel who pays a visit to lend a hand. We’ll hear its three stars - Cary Grant, Loretta Young, and David Niven - recreate their roles in a radio adaptation of the film and we’ll also hear them in three old time radio thrillers. First, Ms. Young fears for her life in “Lady Killer” (originally aired on CBS on March 2, 1950). Then, Cary Grant runs out of gas in “On a Country Road” (originally aired on CBS on November 16, 1950). Finally, David Niven plans a swindle in “Grand Theft” (originally aired on CBS on April 5, 1954). And all three reunite as The Camel Screen Guild Theatre presents a version of the movie (originally aired on March 1, 1948).
