Duffy's Tavern: Where The Elite Meet (Old Time Radio)

That opening line invited listeners to enjoy the weekly exploits of Archie the Bartender, master of the malaprop; Eddie the Waiter, the ever faithful employee; Miss Duffy, the boss' man-crazed daughter; Clifton Finnegan, dim-witted childhood pal of Archie; the never-present Duffy himself; and just about any famous personage of stage, screen, radio, or music that might drop in at the tavern, usually to try and fulfill one of Archie's misguided endeavors.

Ed Gardner stars alongside Eddie Green, Charlie Cantor, Shirley Booth, Florence Halop, and Sandra Gould. Adding to the mirth and madness are a parade of guest stars - including Milton Berle, Tallulah Bankhead, Peter Lorre, Fred Allen, Alan Ladd, Peggy Lee, Louella Parsons, George Jessel, Rudy Vallee, Mickey Rooney, and more - who drop in to match wits with Archie and the gang!

Includes 20 digitally remastered episodes and a Program Guide by Daniel Riedstra.
