Jimmie Fidler

Shelley Winters and Jeff Chandler

English · Radio, Performing Arts

Jimmie Fidler’s radio program brings the Hollywood world to listeners through the perspective of its longtime film columnist and commentator. Fidler was known for reporting on motion-picture personalities and the entertainment business, making the show a window onto the stars and stories of the era.

This recording features Shelley Winters and Jeff Chandler. Its appeal lies in hearing prominent screen performers connected with the program’s Hollywood-centered conversation, presented in the intimate, direct style of radio rather than through a film performance.

For listeners interested in classic Hollywood, the broadcast offers a glimpse of the personalities and publicity culture surrounding the movies in the early 1950s.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
