Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - The Haunting Hour "Uptown Express" (1945)


Uptown Express(1945)


The shows are classic chills from the old school, with creepy organ, overwrought women and over the top men. Perhaps not the highest of melodrama, but obsessively workmanlike. After all, they might have known they were a skeleton staff toiling relentlessly without a ghost of a chance of fame. Thanks to transcription, these unknowns are still with us. John Dunning, succinctly states in "On the Air, The Encyclopedia of Old Time Radio," "There were no credits, so casts and production crews are unknown."


THIS EPISODE:

1945. Program #23. NBC syndication. "The Uptown Express". Commercials added locally. A girl riding on a subway finds herself five years on the future (1950!). The date is approximate. . 27:50.
