The Undecided Molecule

4:00 p.m. We continue a series of broadcasts of classic radio plays by the legendary Norman Corwin with “The Undecided Molecule”, in which a molecule who can’t decide what element or thing it would like to be a part of is brought to trial for its intransigence. The judge is played by Groucho Marx, along with Robert Benchley, Vincent Price, Norman Lloyd, Sylvia Sidney, and Keenan Wynn. It was first broadcast on July 17th, 1945. Norman Corwin is regarded as the Grand Master of American radio drama. In the 1940s he was one of the best-known personalities in America. His brilliant programs drew radio audiences of as many as sixty million people. Many of them were written, cast, rehearsed, produced, and performed live within a single week’s time. They often featured performances by some of the greatest stars of the era. Additional information about Norman Corwin’s remarkable career can be found at normancorwin.com.
