Classic French Dramas starring Laurence Olivier and Robert Morley, Volume 2 presents two half-hour stories adapted for the radio: "Little Louis", by Guy de Maupassant and "Doctor Knock", by Jules Romains. Master actor Laurence Olivier and other leading theater artists from the 1950s charmingly perform these vintage radio dramas. Olivier, as usual, brings a poise and power to this performance, and a certain good-old-days nostalgia. The Theatre Royal brings together this series of dramas, complete with traditional radio sound effects and musical interludes. This is the only series of radio dramas featuring Olivier.
