This radio play, based on author H.G. Wells’ “War of the Worlds” novel, has stood the test of time. We are presented with a gripping tale of alien invasion by a seemingly unstoppable force that brings the Earth to its knees but not before a wholly unexpected ally assists us in eluding planetwide destruction. Based loosely on Wells’ classic science fiction novel, upstart talent, Orson Welles and his Mercury Theater production cast of radio and ultimately theater and film performers, craft a masterful adaptation of the story.

This is a very well done drama enacted on the old “Escape” radio program. William Conrad plays an adventurer who with his two partners are in pursuit of the capture of the elusive yeti, or as it is referred to in this yarn, “the abominable snowman”. Matters get out of hand as the climbing party experience one misfortune after another including bone chilling cold, raging winds, high elevations and several run ins with the title character. William Conrad is very effective in his part ranging from bravado to severe humbling after the expedition crumbles around him. Cool soundtrack and sound [More]
