HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ORSON WELLES!

In honor of what would have been the 105th birthday of Orson Welles, I recommend listening to Welles' classic MERCURY THEATER radio adaptation of H.G. Wells' 1898 novel, WAR OF THE WORLDS. As you no doubt know, this broadcast panicked numerous Americans on Halloween Night, 1938. You can hear the broadcast below....

After you've listened to the radio show, watch Orson Welles' later recollections of his WAR OF THE WORLDS adaptation. These recollections aired on the BBC on June 19th, 1955....
