Book Reviews of It's a Wonderful Life (Christmas at Radio Spirits)

Book Review: Don't Expect The Magic
Summary: 2 Stars

Sadly, very sadly, I must report that the Radio Play does not even come close to the magic of the movie. The ideas that we each touch one another's lives either for good or for ill does come through, but it is barely audible above the halting presentation of IAWL in this medium.

There are bright spots... sometimes the voice overs give us a little background that we did not have before from the movie. ...

Also, of course, we have our favorite couple Stewart and Reed in the play doing the characters they did in the movie. Some of the inflection or presentation may have more of the actors than Capra might have allowed in the movie.. and this is interesting.

This is an 'ok' CD for fans of the movie... it has a couple interesting points, but it just does not capture the heart and soul of the movie that it attempts to dramatize in a 'voice only' medium in my opinion.
