For some reason the crafts were vaguely familiar in a gnawing-away sort of way. In the movie were flying machines apparently used by an alien culture mining Mars. Sometime in the mid-1960s or so I saw a science fiction movie called Robinson Crusoe On Mars. WAR OF THE WORLDS AND THE 1942 BATTLE OF LOS ANGELES Does anyone know of any other local radio versions? I'd love to give them a listen.ALBERT NOZAKI: War of the Worlds and the 1942 Battle of Los Angeles I tried googling but kept coming up with references to the 1938 original. Another Buffalo station did their own version in 1998 (which I somehow missed at the time), and it was interesting to compare the two versions, such as how they each chose different sites for the initial "meteor" impact, different local colleges that the astrophysicist professor was from, etc.Īre there any other local versions? I'm thinking that across the country, there must be other local radio stations that have done their own productions of War of the Worlds at some point. Having just recently listened to the Buffalo 1968 version on YouTube, I found it fascinating. (From what I've read, they were given an outline and told to report on the events as if they were real, instead of following a script.) (This was before I was born but I've listened to a recording of it.) They changed the locations to all be local, and used their actual news staff instead of professional actors. I live in the Buffalo, NY area, and one of our radio stations did their own local version in 1968. Wells book but presented in the style of a "breaking news" report. I'm sure we've all heard of the 1938 broadcast of "War of the Worlds" based on the H.G.
