Description

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS ITEM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

Fred Allen specialized in literate wordplay, lacerating satire, and a squinty-eyed critique of the passing scene. His style was entirely his own: the slate-pencil whine of his voice, the ludicrously-named supporting characters, and the small-town-cum-big-city rattle of his dialogue. Join him in a promenade through parody, along with co-stars Portland Hoffa, Alan Reed, Kenny Delmar, Minerva Pious, John Brown, Charlie Cantor, and Parker Fennelly.

Even Fred's guest stars jump into the jest! Frank Sinatra, Orson Welles, Roy Rogers, Bela Lugosi, Ed Gardner, Norman Corwin, Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy, and many more give us droll dramas, mock murder mysteries, and legitimate laughs.

This digitally restored and remastered collection including the very first walk down Allen's Alley, and a Program Guide by broadcast historian Elizabeth McLeod.
