Radio review – Boris Karloff – “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” (1966) ***

Famous rendition of Dr Seuss’ story by Karloff which displays his great speaking voice. Peter Bogdanovich was so inspired that he came up with a scene in Targets for Karloff to tell a story. It is marred by some annoying songs. Karloff did a bunch of other fairy tales in his career, also with bad songs, including Rip Van Winkle and The Hunting of the Snark.
