Play The Life of Riley on Radio Days

"What a revoltin' development this is!" William Bendix played Chester A. Riley, an aircraft-plant worker whose plans always went wrong, from January 16, 1944, on the Blue Network and from 1945 on NBC, until June 29, 1951. Paula Winslowe played his wife, Peg, and John Brown played both his pal Gillis and Digger O'Dell, the friendly undertaker. Irving Brecher created it, after first pitching the idea for Groucho Marx.
