Episode #501: On Borrowed Time

from The Good Old Days of Radio Show · host John Tefteller

Today we bring you Boris Karloff. He's appearing here on Great Scenes from Great Plays in a strange fantasy, in which he plays Mr. Brink, the personification of Death himself. The story follows an elderly grandfather who discovers a way to trap Death in a magical apple tree. This will be the second time we've presented this story, but with a completely different cast. You can find the other version here, from the Screen Guild Theater, starring Lionel Barrymore, Agnes Moorehead, and Vincent Price. https://goodolddaysofradio.podbean.com/e/episode-98-on-borrowed-time/  Visit our website: https://goodolddaysofradio.com/ Subscribe to our Facebook Group for news, discussions, and the latest podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/881779245938297 Our theme music is "Why Am I So Romantic?" from Animal Crackers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KHJKAKS/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_MK8MVCY4DVBAM8ZK39WD
