Studio One: Sentence of Death & The Night America Trembled - Classic Thriller DVD Collection for Movie Nights & Vintage TV Enthusiasts

I bought this for the "The Night America Trembled". It is the story of Orson Welles' radio broadcast of "The War of the Worlds" that set off a public panic on the east coast. The production values are kind of low but it makes it seem very real. It clearly shows that some people were fooled and let themselves become afraid (some from innocence; some from prejudices that were only barely contained) and that others understood exactly what they were listening too. I saw this as a kid and was fascinated then by the radio sound effects, etc. (the turning of the spaceship's lid was a mason jar in an empty toilet!). The acting is pretty good and the story is still great.The other story ("Sentence of Death" considered the prime content of the disc) is OK but forgettable. Not a bad extra though.
