Sunday Night Playhouse - Holiday Inn (Bing Crosby) & I'll Be Seeing You (Joseph Cotten)
This Sunday on Vintage Classic Radio's "Sunday Night Playhouse," we're excited to present a special holiday double bill. We begin with a throwback to January 11, 1943, for a Christmas episode of "The Screen Guild Players" featuring "Holiday Inn." In this charming episode, Bing Crosby stars as Jim Hardy, a singer who leaves the bright lights of show business to open an inn that celebrates holidays with unique performances. Alongside Crosby, Dinah Shore lends her vocal talents to the role of Linda Mason, who becomes the heart of the inn's festivities and the center of a romantic storyline. This episode captures the spirit of the holidays with its blend of music, romance, and festive cheer.
Following "Holiday Inn," our holiday theme continues with the "Lux Radio Theatre" presentation of "I'll Be Seeing You" from December 24, 1945. Starring Joseph Cotten as Zachary Morgan, a soldier struggling with shell shock, this drama unfolds as he finds companionship and understanding with Mary Marshall, portrayed by Dorothy McGuire, a woman on parole from prison. Their story of seeking normalcy and healing during the Christmas season is further enriched by Shirley Temple in the role of Barbara Marshall, bringing an element of youthful hope and familial connection.
Join us for these classic narratives of love and holiday spirit on "Sunday Night Playhouse," a perfect way to celebrate the season with timeless radio entertainment.
