Hello and welcome to The Old-Time Radio Hour Blog. I'm your host Justeen Ward and each week we bring you a classic show from Radio's Golden Age. This week we wrap up our run of science fiction with a classic drama "The Day the Earth Stood Still". It is a Lux Radio Theater adaptation of the vintage 1951 sci fi movie with the original star Michael Rennie and Jean Peters playing the part that Patricia Neal had in the movie. It is well acted, well written and fast paced, exactly what we expect from Lux, a series that spared no expense to give high quality shows to the radio audience. This is Lux Radio Theater "The Day the Earth Stood Still" first broadcast January 4, 1954 on CBS. The Old-Time Radio Hour broadcasts each week over the World Wide Web.
