""A fascinating and thoroughly engaging book that successfully explores the neglected field of radio drama and its close relationship with cinema. Krutnik's excellent scholarship widens our knowledge of a thrilling era of popular culture, finding a dynamic correlation between the screen and the airwaves."" -- Richard Hand * author of Terror on the Air!: Horror Radio in America, 1931–1952 *
