The Devil And Mr O | Old Time Radio

The Devil and Mr. O presents “Live Forever,” episode 13, originally broadcast December 10, 1971. Written by Arch Oboler, this syndicated installment repackages his earlier Lights Out story “The Immortal Gentleman,” with Franchot Tone and Mercedes McCambridge featured in the cast.

A man is thrust into a far-future society where medical science has made eternal life ordinary. As he confronts a civilization built around immortality, Oboler turns the dream of living forever into an unsettling speculative drama about mortality, longevity, and the value of a finite life.

Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.

The Devil and Mr. O, episode 4, “Where Are You,” originally broadcast October 8, 1971. This syndicated presentation revives Arch Oboler’s earlier Lights Out! play “The Word,” first heard in 1943.

On their honeymoon, Michael and Eve ride to the 102nd-floor observation level of a New York skyscraper as a violent storm gathers over the city. When they try to return to the streets below, the familiar world of Manhattan has become unnervingly empty. Featuring Byron Cain and Mercedes McCambridge, this wartime-shadowed supernatural mystery turns a skyline visit into a crisis of isolation and dread.
