Christmas Storytime: Orson Welles’ “Gremlin Troubles”

Enjoy one of the great Orson Welles’ contributions to the war effort: a story about gremlins, the supernatural critters that attacked World War II planes, more funny than horrific, and with a Christmas theme:

This was from his Ceiling Unlimited radio show, sponsored by Lockheed-Vega to dramatize aviation’s contributions to the war effort. Welles wrote, directed and starred in the first 13 episodes before others took over for him.

Cast credits start in at 13:10. See if you can guess who played the Irish lass before you get to them…
