English · Dramatic Readings

Screen Directors Playhouse brings Hollywood filmmaking to radio, with stories presented by the directors and performers associated with the movies. Each broadcast adapts a film for sound, inviting listeners to experience its characters and dramatic situations through dialogue, music, and effects.

The program’s distinctive appeal lies in its connection to the cinema: directors introduce or shape the presentations, while familiar screen actors bring their roles to life in a radio setting. The result is a blend of movie storytelling and live-audience performance, with the sound design filling in the visual world.

This recording presents Pitfall, offering a chance to hear a screen story reimagined for radio. Its dramatic format suits listeners who enjoy classic Hollywood performances and the craft of adapting film narratives for the ear.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
