Скачать или смотреть The Life of Riley | Turkey Hunt (1944) | Thanksgiving Classic Radio Comedy

Just four days before Thanksgiving 1944, Chester Riley has a money-saving scheme: instead of buying an expensive turkey, hell hunt one himself! What could go wrong?

Context that makes this episode fascinating: by the early 1940s, wild turkeys had been hunted nearly to extinction in many states. A turkey hunt in 1944 was a genuine adventure! Plus, with wartime rationing affecting every household, Chesters scheme to bypass the system resonated with budget-conscious listeners.

William Bendix brings his characteristic optimism to Chesters outdoor adventure. The man who bungled factory work, houseboats, and piano lessons now takes on Mother Nature herself!

🎙️ Original Air Date: November 19, 1944 (4 days before Thanksgiving)
📻 Network: NBC Blue Network
⭐ Starring: William Bendix as Chester A. Riley
🎬 Created by: Irving Brecher
