The holiday film A Christmas Story, first released in 1983, has become a bona fide Christmas perennial, gaining in stature and fame with each succeeding year. Its affectionate, wacky, and wryly realistic portrayal of an American family's typical Christmas joys and travails in small-town Depression-era Indiana has entered our imagination and our hearts with a force equal to It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street.

Love, Lucy is the valentine Lucille Ball left for her fans—a warm, wise, and witty memoir written by Lucy herself. The legendary star of the classic sitcom I Love Lucy was at the pinnacle of her success when she sat down to record the story of her life. No comedienne had made America laugh so hard, no television actress had made the leap from radio and B movies to become one of the world’s best-loved performers. This is her story—in her own words.

Publisher's Summary
The Lux Radio Theatre was one of radio's most popular series attracting Hollywood's top stars and boasting a lavish budget. It began in 1934 by featuring dramas from Broadway, but there was not enough material to support the show. In an attempt to reverse the slipping ratings, the show was moved to Hollywood in 1936, where there was plenty of material and talent. In fact, filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille often served as the host.

Almost like the movie!
Great cast/performances by all. It even had the original commercials interspersed through the 3 act play. Loved the commercials but I wish it did not cut out parts of the story lines. All in all a wonderful story that brought back a flood of memories of my mother and sister watching this classic on tv.

Vintage version!
From an old radio program and it’s been abridged to make it into a script. (The commercials are fun, too. ) However, keep in mind that you may prefer to purchase this classic read in its entirety by a narrator.

Great perfomances
This happens to be my favorite Christmas story right along side of A Christmas Carol. Pleasantly surprised that in such a short time, the whole story was told and was so much like the movie. I would definitely recommend this "audio recording" to everyone.
