and then little college town in the United States, our
destinies are being shaped by two men known even in
their own country, one of whom you could never see
in the other for whom some of us would tie.
Speaker 5: Well the progesters.
Speaker 2: High time I locked you up, Then you then claim
not since the alumni dinner is thirty nine. Yeah, hard
man to find, even if you're on a faculty. I've
been wondering whose sellers breaking down doors. It's a strange
place to have a laboratory. What are you hiding down here?
What are you hiding claim? I thought you were in
the army. I am why does the villian close? I'm

fission as we do. How they are working on us?
I see, you know, when I started this work, for
the first time in my life, I was sorry I
ever saw a laboratory. If anybody is going to develop
an Adam Bamber, he wanted to be us, not then

That's your mistake when you didn't let him take you,
because I knew you had a reason. So they played Jeff.
That's how they knew.

Speaker 2: That's why I put that Dawphin woman on you. And

I think we'll skip dinner tonight. Oh, if he has
something here, I'd like to read to you a copy
of a letter which will delivered to the German consulate
within a few minutes. Goodn Bank stationary thing would be
terribly vague, It says, dear third, I am only a
clerk in this bank, but I am a true friend
of Germany. And you should know that a woman named
Anne Dawson, presumably friendly to us, has recently deposited the
sum of five thousand American dollars. But that's the third.
He was accompanied by an American whom I had never
seen before. It was he who paid over the money.
I let her signed a watchful friend. But ill, su course.
Speaker 4: You tell me what this means?
Speaker 2: And why should the German conference be interested in me.
I'm in Switzerland because of my husband. He's in the airport.
Speaker 8: He was shot down, and he contended here, I'm an American.
Speaker 2: Technically, yes, you were born and raised there. But in
nineteen thirty five, Messas Dawkon, you joined the Bund under
the name of Hilda Winters. In nineteen thirty seven, you
were arrested for organizing anti Semitican anti Negro riots. A
year later, you were in Berlin started to work for
the Gestapo. I you think they'll believe a flame up
like this, Yes they will. I'll be getting a phone
call any minute if you haven't told me what I want.
I know by them, the original of this letter will
be delivered. They'll laugh at it, but just to be safe,
they'll do some set You see, a woman who looks
exactly like you was in the bank today with me.
Her signature was an exact duplicate of your signature. And
they're just a chance. Your friends may have been worried
about you from time to time. Why they have a theory.
Once a German, always a German. It may apply to
Americans too. I've never betrayed them. No, I've never betrayed
them until an American agent offered your money. What is
it you want to know? I want to know where
they've taken Catherine Loaders. No, you tell me the letter
will be destroyed? What I tell you? If I you
but I doesn't know? Hello, Well, how did I tell
you if I don't know, He says, she doesn't know.

whole world. It will perhaps ten people with a mind
equal to have heard the work she could have done.
We'll be able to go home now anytime you want.
You came to Switzerland for another I'm not going home.
Why Adam Lorder told me she'd be working with an
Italian Giovanni Polder. That's just I don't know. Maybe they're
ports them to work for them, just the way they
did with her. Maybe I can find out. Oh, never

Speaker 13: In May the war in Europe, I came back to Livorno,
but there was no one I could go to. Our
friends were dead and all but forgotten already. I wandered
over to the amusement park.
Speaker 2: Physically it was still unchanged, but people were there, and
in the ruins children were playing, as if the will
to erase the indignities of war would men. The broken
horses of the Caroustan and the broken hearts.
Speaker 14: There was even music, but these are the people for
whom music and singing I like bread and wine. And
then I saw Gina and she stood there insensible, staring
at me like someone time of stone.
Speaker 2: And I went to her and the stone knelted over
their ears.

that you used to be in England.
Speaker 4: Well, of course, in cricket, two baskets go to bat
at the same town.
Speaker 2: Oh what the Dodgers wouldn't give for a setup like that?
It doesn't that make the game a little complicated. Oh

Speaker 4: After the batsman takes to stay, the bowler delivers a
past goodly down the popping greed.

good blaze, Oh of course.

Speaker 2: All the most of these six This is CBS A,
n x AM and FM Los Angeles twenty five seconds
before seven pm the Ulva Bulliver watch time.
Speaker 1: Welcome Back Well. An interesting film and in some ways
a bit of a softer take on the OSS than
we've gotten either from the Kloakndagger series or certainly from
the two other film adaptations, with a very strong romantic feel.
Think back to OSS and it's a very different tone
than what you heard in that film adaptation. And this
was enhanced further by the ending monologue, which I think
was beautifully delivered by Reagan. The monologue not only featured
a happy ending and a reuni of our leading man
and lady but also paid tribute to the Italian people
emerging from under the boot of fascism and their resilience
and strength as a people on full display. This is
entirely original to the radio program. The film ends with
Alva flying away and a dirty faced Gina looking on
as he flies off into the distance, with no clue
as to what would happen next. Now to say that
it's different is not to say that it's bad. I
think it was actually quite enjoyable. You don't really get
much higher stakes than the Nazis trying to develop nuclear weapons,
plenty of action and adventure. I think Reagan did a
really good job in this, playing his character with a
lot of charm and decency. I think makes a good
substitute here for Gary Cooper. Lily Palmer does fine, although
as she said, she hadn't done as much radio and
that shows maybe in a few scenes. And beyond that,
they're supported by a strong cast of radio regulars. And
one thing that makes Locks work so well when it
comes to adapting films is that they can put together
the type of casts that are necessary to make a
big film feel really epic, and having those extra actors
does make a difference versus so many radio dramas which
tended to be limited to say, six or seven performers total.
I did find the closing conversation about cricket amusing I'm
a baseball fan and I'm curious about cricket, but any
time I try to understand it quickly get as lost
as Reagan did here. And of course Reagan would know
about it, as his whole career began with being a
baseball announcer Radio Craigett. That's a challenge for comments and
feedback now, and we have a few comments regarding the
adaptation of OSS and we start on Patreon, where Emmitt writes,
this was a good one, Adam. I've offered wondered why
it is that so many movies even today involved Nazis,
and it's pretty easy to figure out they are the
ultimate bad guys. In this excellent adaptation for Lux Radio Theater,
you just know we're going to see that Nazi again.
But I wasn't ready for how that would play out.
Thanks for this one, Jeff Wrights. Doesn't get much better
than Alan Ladd Veronica pairing. Very emotional and heartbreaking. Thanks
so much, Jeff. And then we turn over to spotify
Doctor who Doneant wrote amadea sprink taking bribes. His cousin
is his is a courier. His other cousin has a radio.
Is this an early version of pagan Zelschmidt. Well, that's
a fair question. I would point out that Oss the
film was released in nineteen forty six. The Man Called
X premiered in nineteen forty four, so if anyone was
borrowing from anyone, OSS may have been inspired by pagon
zel Schmidt on The Man Called X. But that said
trickster rogues like these characters certainly existed before either The
Man Called X or OSS and Mechanics sixty six rites.
Vernal Ronica Lank was the inspiration for Jessica Rabbit and
a reference to who Framed Roger Rabbit and Kim Masinger
played a Veronica Lake lookalike in La Confidential. Her charms
don't translate well over radio. Well, thank you so much,
appreciate your commenting and that additional insight. Well, now it
is time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day,
and I want to go ahead and thank Bettina, Patreon
supporter since May of twenty twenty one, currently supporting the
podcast at the first mate level of seven dollars and
fourteen cents or more per month. Thank you so much
for your support, Betina, and that will do it for today.
And I hope you've enjoyed these OSS movie adaptations. But
