THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY & CAMILLE

In reissuing these 1950 radio broadcasts, Scenario Productions offers excellent sound quality and packaging. The actors are superb, as might be expected from the professional Canadian radio productions of the day. The dramatizations are, of course, severe, cramming lengthy books into one-hour programs, but they are well done, a sort of Cliffs Notes with the drama still intact. The actors are superbly professional, the music is stirring, and the enhancements of text are nicely done. This reviewer especially appreciated hearing Barry Morse, the Fugitive's nemesis Lieutenant Gerard in the David Janssen TV series, delivering an upper-crust portrayal in CAMILLE. D.R.W.
