Hi everybody,
Today I tell you a bit more about the “Honky Tonk” radio broadcast, which was aired at the 8th of April 1941 by CBS.
The adventures of “Candy,” a fast man with a deck of cards, a six-gun, and the judge’s daughter.
“Honky Tonk” is a colorful and exciting drama which was a Metro Goldwyn Meyer western thriller film.
It is the fast moving saga of a gentleman gambler quick on the trigger reckless both at love and dice, and a woman whose loyalty and deep devotion follow him to the dramatic climax of his dangerous career.
