Fabulous radio-style performance by the original movie cast

I was delighted to discover this audiobook. It’s more of a radio style performance of the movie, and is greatly truncated for audio purposes. Many of the moments that make the film so magical had to be omitted, because they are strictly visual. I listened to this while I decorated my Christmas tree today, and it was the perfect soundtrack, so to speak. I haven’t had a television for four years, so discovering this gem was a real Christmas treat. Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, and many of the original cast members voice this performance. It’s such a special Christmas present to myself. Highly recommended!
