Breaking the Sound Barrier

From Hollywood, the Hollywood Radio Theater, Captain McQuire and Robert Newton in Breaking the Sound Barrier. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Cumming. Here you come from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Last year at the Academy Awards, he came in as a surprise to no one that the Oscar for Best Achievement in Sound

went to London Films for their magnificent picture, Breaking the Sound Barrier. There is also a love story in this excellent United Artists release. So we have lovely Dorothy Maguire as the young wife, who is unsympathetic towards her husband's overpowering obsession to fly faster than sound.

And starring as her brilliant but domineering father, that fine actor, Robert Newton, now, breaking the sound barrier, starring Robert Newton as John Richfield and Dorothy Maguire as Susan. England 1944. The years of conflict have given rise to a tremendous airplane industry in which no name is more distinguished than Richfield Air Strike. It's early evening. Two

callers have just arrived at the Richfield Mansion, John Richfield's daughter and her new husband. Hello darling, still frightened. That's a fire. Fix the jinxie yourself. Father Mayor Beowile yet. Riley said he's in the study meeting with some engineers.

I sure it's all right there. Speaking of me. Oh, but of course. Imagine running into field fields. Why didn't you tell me field was working for your father? Darling, I didn't even know you knew him.

Oh, wait until you meet his wife. Nice, huh? They don't come any better than jazz. Tell me again, who was the old boy who showed us around the works the one I thought was your father?

Will Sparks, his father's chief designer, sweetest man in the world. Tony, what are you looking at? Met photograph on the table, your brother? Yes, so hard to believe. Chris did almost a year. It was so unnecessary, Tony.
