One of the most spectacular American broadcasts of our century: Norman Corwin celebrates the Bill of Rights. Created at the suggestion of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (who speaks at the end), this show tells WHY we have the Bill of Rights, and features a 'million dollar cast' including Jimmy Stewart, Orson Welles, Edward G. Robinson, Marjorie Main and more! Original score by Bernard Herrmann, and the National Anthem conducted by Leopold Stokowski. The program was performed live on December 15, 1941, over all the radio networks in the United States, and heard by more than 60 million listeners! Digitally remastered and restored with great care. Gripping drama and brilliant history, as originally broadcast live -- one week after Pearl Harbor.
