A radio version is available here for free download.

Yes, this is radio, and MUCH shorter than the movie, but it does star Robert Benchley, who is a much better choice, to my mind, as a bumbling, put-upon husband with a grand fantasy life. (Sadly, it has no David Raksin music like the film.)

Enjoy!

Thanks for the link, David!
I love this story; very funny, and cleverly written.

I'll bump this to say that I'm watching this movie for the first time since the early 80's, when I saw it in one of David Raksin's classes.

My but this is a funny movie, although I've never been fond of Danny Kaye's specialty bits (ditto with Garry Moore). I guess it's no different than Mike Myers doing his "Fat Bastard" schtick in the middle of that Austin Powers movie, though.

And what a supporting cast!

And the music is just grand. Maybe another Raksin set will come out one day and we'll hear it.

10 minutes of comedy/action scoring close the picture. Wow!
