The Halls of Ivy
Ronald Colman as a college president — the most literate comedy on American radio.
The Halls of Ivy won the Peabody in its first year and is routinely cited as the best-written comedy of late network radio. Its television incarnation in 1954 kept the Colmans but lost the pace, which is the argument of this whole destination in miniature: the transfer was rarely neutral, and the thing that made the radio version work — language, timing, the listener's own imagined campus — was exactly what a camera could not carry.
