Funny in Every Medium

This is a funny and charming production. The novel is great and so is the movie. Listen to it, read it, see it!

Great except for ...

Disproportionately, very loud orchestra music, ads, audience laughing & clapping are an unfortunate distraction amidst great performances, especially by Cary Grant. Surely these could be digitally adjusted to the same volume as the actors?

Fun

I saw the movie years ago and thought it was neat to hear the old radio programs of the past. The reenactment seemed a little rushed but overall, it was good.
