Escape presents “The Gladiator,” originally broadcast on CBS on August 1, 1951 (episode 147). Written by Millard Kaufman and directed by Norman Macdonnell, it stars William Conrad as retired heavyweight champion Joe Scarlatti.
Joe and his manager, Pony, accept an affluent stranger’s invitation to sail from London to Rome. But when their yacht changes course toward North Africa, the promised holiday becomes a journey to a remote island where an unsettling vision of ancient Rome awaits.
Escape presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
