“Speak-It!” Pictures orchestrated a cast of talent to revive a vintage NBC radio broadcast of Mae West and Don Ameche’s infamous skit portraying Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. On the eve of December 12, 1937 and during the Chase and Sanborn Hour show, with a plot (approved by censors) that was innocent enough, the characteristic inflection in Miss West’s delivery created a nationwide uproar. Up and down the country people threatened “crusades against smut on the radio”. NBC was bombarded with complaints, nationwide, denouncing the show and thusly Miss West’s radio career came to an abrupt end. This production breathes new life into on an old scandal, which only existed through audio recordings. The actors are lip-synching to the original broadcast. |
