Farce


(4 stars)

Two similar but distinct radio versions of this classic Moliere farce. Both are entertaining, although the references to wife-beating certainly didn’t age well. The second version is a treat for old-time listeners, as it stars Robert Young and is announced by Don Wilson, but the recording skips and stumbles about halfway through.
