The African Queen (LXRT)

This is a neat and entertaining adaptation of the movie. Humphrey reprises his role with the expected skill, but you'll sure miss hearing Katherine do her part. Katherine's replacement, Greer Garson, is good, but it just isn't the same. I love the live sound of Lux Radio Theatre; the soft laughter of the live audience is oh so pleasing.
