In a moment, we're going to bring you the first of three adaptations of films about the OSS.

Well, I had plans to do some anthology programs after Cloak and Dagger for a couple

weeks before we transitioned into a continuing series, but the amount of interest and enjoyment

that people had with the OSS made me think it'd be a good idea

to do some specials that focused on the OSS. There were actually a few films that were made

based on the OSS. Now, they're not all in the way that Cloak and Dagger was taken directly from real-life incidents,

although certainly the training and the top submissions that the OSS got involved in were covered.

And initially, and you may have heard me say on some podcast, we're going to do two weeks, I found out that

there were three different major films that were made and were later adapted to radio.

So we're going to do three weeks of these films and hear how they adapt to radio and hear

the way that the OSS is portrayed.

Now, two of these I did do as part of our World War II series, The War,

but at least one of them was in really rough shape,

and we do have some upgraded copies.

And so, and particularly, it would be a good idea to do it again now that we've just listened to the entire run of cloak and dagger.
