All My Sons (Aired May 1, 50)
Lux Radio Theater strove to feature as many of the original stars of the original stage and film productions as possible, usually paying them $5,000 an appearance to do the show. It was when sponsor Lever Brothers (who made Lux soap and detergent) moved the show from New York to Hollywood in 1936 that it eased back from adapting stage shows and toward adaptations of films. The first Lux film adaptation was The Legionnaire and the Lady, with Marlene Dietrich and Clark Gable, based on the film Morocco. That was followed by a Lux adaptation of The Thin Man, featuring the movie's stars, Myrna Loy and William Powell.
THIS EPISODE:
All My Sons aired May 1, 1950 starring Ann Pearce, Burt Lancaster, Edward Arnold, and Scott Brady. All My Sons is a powerful and gripping drama about a successful, middle-aged, self-made man who has done a terrible and tragic thing during World War II, rushing to meet an order from the Army. A point that there is something horribly wrong about a system which permits huge profits to be made out of war. Based on the 1947 play by Arthur Miller, it was awarded the 1947 Tony Award for Best Play.
