The Devil and Miss Jones
par
The Devil and Miss Jones is a radio adaptation of the 1941 comedy film about a wealthy department-store owner who goes undercover among his employees and discovers that their lives and concerns are more complicated than he expected. The story brings workplace comedy together with romance and a change of perspective for its powerful central character.
Presented as an Armed Forces Radio Theater production, this recording offers the story in dramatic radio form, using performers, dialogue, and sound to carry the action. The adaptation’s appeal lies in the contrast between the owner’s assumptions and the everyday world he encounters, as well as the comic situations that arise when he tries to pass as an ordinary worker.
Listeners can expect a light, character-driven comedy with a warm romantic thread and a gently satirical look at class and authority. Its radio presentation makes the characters’ exchanges and changing relationships the focus of the experience.
