Character actor William Phipps said old time radio legend Arch Oboler was one of the most overrated talents in the business.
Oboler is widely considered one of the giants of OTR alongside Orson Welles, Norman Corwin, and a handful of other writer-producers. He was often called a genius.
Arch Oboler also made some offbeat films like Five, which Phipps appeared in.
“One of the crew, a very nice fella name of Art, said something that Oboler didn’t like,” recalled Phipps, “and Oboler hit him. With his fist. Cut him real bad – nasty gash, blood, the whole bit...
“I was there shortly afterwards and saw the guy – Oboler had broken his glasses and cut him all up. And there was a big lawsuit over it. That was a terrible thing; no matter what the guy said or did, there’s no excuse for that. But that’s Oboler for you …
“I appeared on an album that he did called Drop Dead, and a lot of it was scripts from his old Lights Out radio show. I just didn’t think they were any good!
“When it comes to Oboler and this genius bit, I don’t see it. Never did. I don’t think he was a genius at all. Not by any stretch of the imagination … he had clashes and run-ins with everybody… Oh, hell, he was a creep!”

2) You think talkies ruined everything.
3) Somehow, dark psychological thrillers about man's struggle with life and death make you sleep better at night. Side note - you should watch Blade Runner
4) "It would be best to die in the dark."
