Fields Narrator: Carole Lombard, W. C. Fields, Nelson Eddy, Hoagy Carmichael, Charlie McCarthy, Don Ameche, Edgar Bergen, Dorothy Lamour Publisher: Radio Spirits Release date: 07-31-2015 Language: English Summary: Here's one of radio's greatest comic rivalries: the blustery W. C. Fields facing off against the impudent Charlie McCarthy! You'll also hear Don Ameche, Dorothy Lamour, Nelson Eddy, and some guy named Edgar Bergen! The pomposity of Fields' comic persona clashes spectacularly with Charlie's, the foe of the haughty and the self-absorbed, in their no-holds-barred feud. Before and after their battles, the more composed Bergen plays host to a variety of guest stars, including Carole Lombard, Hoagy Carmichael, Rodgers & Hart, and more.
