[78-L] War of the Worlds, the Mockumentary..wuz Re: War of the Worlds on LP

[Michael Biel]

I wasn't home to see it, so will have to look at my DVD of it in the
morning.  So I don't know what they said about the rehearsal, but I know
for a fact that it was lost because we have heard the story of it being
lost from the actor who had possession of the set and why he had them. 
I have a set of rehearsal discs of an earlier Mercury Theater program,
and they were cut at Universal which was Raymond Scott's studio.

Well, that's one I won't be keeping. But I did make it to the end.
Wonder how 
many people tuned out in panic within the first few minutes when the
first 
horrible fake accented talking head (who looked and sounded like John
Cullum) 
started spewing badly scripted bullshit? If they were going for reality,
they 
missed by light years, and if they were going for Spinal Tap, somebody
needs to 
learn them quick how to do that sort of thing. Wotta piece o' poop.

Rehearsal cut on wax discs, eh?
