BixLives!
You need to sit through 10+ minutes of self-congratulatory interview with an old gaffer bragging about having written the first screen-play without reference to visuals (i.e., a RADIO PLAY?!), & more guff about being the first to ask the listener to turn their lights off. Wyllis Cooper, in 1933 wrote "Lights Off" for American Radio, & may have not been the first to employ this cheap gimmick, but I wish they'd just get to the core material!
