LIFEBOAT Alfred Hitchcock • [restored & remastered] • Classic Radio Theater

If there was ever a movie to be made into a great Classic Radio Play, "Lifeboat" is the one! Tallulah Bankhead (Dahhhling) is back, with JEFF CHANDLER and SHELDON LEONARD in the key roles. This came from the "Screen Director's Playhouse" expanded one hour episodes. It's a 100% free "Movie for your MIND" with no copyright issues. I looked for this for particular story for quite some time to find a good High Quality Audio version, and here it is. It truly is the perfect story to present as an Audio Adaptation for those of us who have Theater in our MINDS.
√✓√✓√✓√✓√✓√ Stuff and such: True Story! Bankhead became known for not wearing underwear while working on the film. Hitchcock once said "I don't know if I should send her to the make-up department or hair dressing!"

Hey ho fatty🐈and I💃have tuned in on a very cold night, but we are in a warm bed. Most of Britain is on strike, cost of living is higher than earnings... But guess what, God IS Good and knows All things. 🙏✝️ Charlie as always big thanks for your uploads. Love to you, Theresa 💐and the 'gang'. 16/12/2022 @ 20:25pm🇬🇧

[@railroadingrambler218]

What a performance by all, especially Tallulah Bankhead!

[@dancelli714]

I'll listen tonight. KEY LARGO is also a good radio play.

[@nata3467]

This is always one of my favorite movies to come up on so interesting what people can do with great acting a great script and one setting

[@bessallin459]

Old time radio plays are the best. I’d rather spend an hour of my life listening to these than the rubbish which is churned out today. Brilliant

[@charliestuckey-outtamymind4279]

I'm with you!

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

I must say, this is really good!

[@Valerie-oc3kw]

Thank you😊

[@fromthesidelines]

Originally broadcast on November 16, 1950- shortly after Tallulah began her tenure as hostess of NBC's Sunday evening "extravaganza", "THE BIG SHOW" (which outlasted "SCREEN DIRECTORS PLAYHOUSE" by one season).

[@honeyowen3163]

wow! Incredible!! Had no idea there was a show by this station's name, thanks.

[@roelienpostma2367]

Listened breathlessly......

[@alexandracolmant9983]

Thank you for making these good quality audios of good shows. The sound makes a difference and enhances the enjoyment of the dramas.

[@richardmcleod5967]

Tallulah Bankhead received the First Lady of Radio Award in 1951 primarily for her hosting of "The Big Show" which ran for 57 episodes and at a full 90 minutes on NBC, was probably the longest show time wise in the history of radio. "The Big Show" was also the most expensive show that ever aired on radio at over $200,000.00 per show, quite a sum in the early 1950's. Jeff Chandler does a great job in the radio adaptation and compares well to John Hodiak's role in the movie version. Alfred Hitchcock was a big fan of Tallulah Bankhead, first hearing her performing on the London stage during the 1920's. "Lifeboat" seems to have been created solely for the unique talents of Tallulah Bankhead. She certainly gave good performances in both the movie and radio versions.

[@roelienpostma2367]

I guessed this part was written for her!

[@tonywhite3620]

Ms Bankhead sounds well-oiled in this...

[@okesoncharlie]

"make-up department or hair dressing" ! Alfred !! I'm shocked! Thanks for the precious quote, Charlie. roflmao

[@candydale8380]

Many thanks, Alfred Hitchcock is my ab fave!!!

[@honeyowen3163]

lol, love the "newspaper" articles on the cover. You're a man of many talents, until recently I had no idea they weren't simply the actual releases promos. This makes the experience even more enjoyable. We haven't heard from you are you well?

[@GalCharlotteOG]

Tanks!

[@ADAMSIXTIES]

Airdate Nov. 16th, 1950. Setting: July 8th,1943.

[@charliestuckey-outtamymind4279]

Thanks! On my older uploads, I failed to put the broadcast date!

[@skyroot8529]

Thanks Charlie, It's great to be back listening to your channel again !

[@008fiona]

Thank you for posting this.

[@Moronvideos1940]

[@mqrieck]

Sheldon Leonard comes through loud and clear ! :D

[@zero_bs_tolerance8646]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@17dragonflymoon]

Love these. Good quality great sound. Thank you

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

Lisa Lueck Nothing beats the Theater of the MIND!

[@pegallen6983]

TY

[@mqrieck]

Well done! Picked up on a few things I missed in the movie.

[@jeremybear573]

I did not know you had another Channel Charles! I don't know why I'm just discovering this now with all these wonderful gems you have here!

[@charliestuckey-outtamymind4279]

Yes, except I'm going to continue to focus on the Suspense and Escape channel. I might add a few more programs to this channel, but then again I might go in a different direction. I keep hoping to get the audio equipment I need to do a live channel! BTW The NAZI Captain came from the sub, which was sunk moments after it sank the ship.

[@jeremybear573]

@@charliestuckey-outtamymind4279 okay I did not know the sub went down also. I had to Google the story plot to find that out earlier

[@commonsense9899]

Very good!

[@michellesheleg5895]

Aw Charlie you've ruined "Spot Hitch"! 😜 My son and I always competed to see which of us would find him first. Good times, good movies, good Movies For Your Mind! 😁 Many many thanks!

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

The only way I spotted Hitchcock in this movie was because it was pointed out on TCM. Did you like this audio version? Also, did you read the STUFF-N-SUCH about Bankhead in the description? I also heard about that on TCM.

[@michellesheleg5895]

@@SuspenseESCAPEremastered I did enjoy this version very much. It took me a few lines of dialogue for what was Hodiak's and Bendix's characters to get comfy with that change but then I was fine.😊 Ha! I had heard that bit of info re: Ms. Dietrich before and it's as hilarious now as when I first heard it!! As we know, Hitchcock was delightfully devilish... I think you take after him.😜💖

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

@@michellesheleg5895 To say I take after Hitchcock is a huge compliment . . . and to say I'm "devilish," is right on! :-)

[@lynngertrudeclark6531]

Thanks

[@fridperon9593]

Gus voice sounds like a cartoon character called top cat .

[@hudsony777]

Tallu! One of a kind. Who has that kind of name anymore...calling Basil Rathbone...

Charlie Stuckey's MIND Theater very good

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

Kieran Allen only took you 11 months!

[@cw2gtc]

Thank you Charlie! (Not a bot)

[@fromthesidelines]

In its final season, the music for the series was "canned" [from NBC's production music library], and added after the body of the show was taped. Listen for the abrupt editing of the closing theme at 59:17.

[@jeremybear573]

Auto generated? Hell no. I watch your channel Faithfully share! I listen to half of Suspicion last night and I have my ideas of where this tale will go but you never know!

[@fridperon9593]

It's great but why so many changes from original .John Hodiak and William Bendix we're great

[@anthonyochocki6535]

'How did the line: 'where's Joe--the colored man' get changed from 'have you seen Charcoal?'- movie version- Which came 1st? Aside that this is one of my Top 10 favorite films; am more locked into the uneasy sense of the presence of Banquo's Ghost that still so lurks with-in the American Political and Social Fabric: the Radio production more than the censors, may have allowed in the movie---to show the innate 'Prejudices, Myopic viewpoints, and Jingoistic speech' that helped to usher in the Concept and slogan of the 'Ugly American' though dressed-up 'likes they goin' to Sunday Church' with its 'folksy Patriotism' is in fact just the other-face-of-the-Coin of Economic, Social and Political Oppression that these Survivors are supposed to be antithesis. LoL....So what in the 70 plus years, in the World and the U.S. has changed.?

[@fridperon9593]

There were some inappropriate words like calling a black man charcoal .

[@timothywilliams8857]

GET A LIFE, FRID, YOU SNOWKFLAKE. IT WAS 1950 FER' CRISSAKES! DIFFERENT TIME.

[@fridperon9593]

It's great but why so many changes from original .John Hodiak and William Bendix we're great
