Episode #206: Arch Oboler Month: Johnny Got His Gun

We are taking out an entire month to look briefly at the prolific body of work of Arch Oboler. The 1930s saw Oboler in a position of prominence in radio with his own series "Arch Oboler's Plays." Today we hear the most dramatic of these, with an riveting production of Dalton Trumbo's "Johnny Got His Gun," starring James Cagney as the blind and deaf soldier with no arms, and no legs.
