Welcome back to Boris Karloff month! This time I'm looking at Great Scenes from Great Plays, a series which adapted popular plays (as it says on the tin). On May 14, 1949 they adapted Paul Osborn's "On Borrowed Time", the story of an old man who traps Death up a tree. Karloff, naturally, plays the role of Death, himself (Mr. Brink). The story is a perfect blend of whimsy and darkness, which is pretty much what Karloff specialized in. You can hear it on Youtube by clicking here!
