NBC, April 26, 1953, starring Richard Widmark as Winston Smith.
This is a very good adaptation of Orwell's classic and prophetic novel. The story moves along at a good pace and grips you very well.
I also enjoyed the angle "Theatre Guild" took of inserting scenes featuring O'Brien and another man plotting against Winston. It was a necissary adaptation for the medium of radio. In other hands, it could have turned out really lame, but fortunately in the hands of this particular program these extra scenes added to the story.
