You Are There

(1947-1950)

Adventure / Family / Western

Cast: Richard C. Hottelet, John Daly and Don Hollenbeck

The episodes of this program are dramatic re-enactments of historical events, produced as if a correspondent was there and reporting the news.  Created by Goodman Ace, the same actor and writer who produced the Easy Aces show.  A typical episode began with 'live' background coverage of the events as they were unfolding, followed by interviews of the historical figures on the scene.  The dialogue is quite factual, and the writers do an excellent job in creating the character of the historical figures in the episode.  Creative sound effects, good actors and excellent direction create an exciting and thought-provoking tapestry of history, as if You Are There.
