About this listen

These four deluxe audio adaptations of the original Hollywood classic movies enable the listener to enjoy their essence conveniently and enjoyably in every setting and have been reinterpreted as audio dramas that allow you to hear the action and paint the picture in your mind as it happens. The original dialogues from the films are reproduced complete with accompanying narrative bridges read by the award-winning actor Sean Pratt that enable the listener to vividly visualize the splendor of these Hollywood cinema classics in a seamless audiobook format.

Considered a critical and popular success, a favorite of the legendary director Quentin Tarantino, ranked in the past in the top 100 films by The American Film Institute, His Girl Friday is a noteworthy 1940 American screwball (a subgenre of romantic) comedy film directed by Howard Hawks, starring Hollywood legends, Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell.

A tale of positive thinking and persistence, The Little Princess is a 1939 American drama film directed by Walter Lang, starring the legendary actress, Shirley Temple. The story takes place in 1899, and is true to the late Victorian period in England.

The Oscar-nominated The Snows of Kilimanjaro is adapted from the original 1952 film screenplay by Casey Robinson, based on the 1936 short story of the same name by Ernest Hemingway. Directed by Henry King, this American Technicolor romantic adventure film stars Gregory Peck, Susan Hayward, and Ava Gardner, whose performances are critically acclaimed.

Few Hollywood films have had the impact of the original version of A Star Is Born. Released in 1937 and starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, it was nominated for nine Academy Awards and won two (for best original story and best cinematography). Since then, the movie has been remade three times, attesting to its continued allure. But none have matched the genius and wit of the original.
