Location Audio (Karlovassi tapes1-3) + All for Love

This set of audio files includes the first three location audio tapes (out of 13) from Production 62 "Let's Kill Karlovassi" and a production of All for Love by John Dryden adapted for LP by Elayne Carroll and Robert M. Culp.

Background on the I Spy location audio tapes and the Carroll/Culp theater adaptations can be obtained by checking out these Forum links:

Let's Kill Karlovassi seems to have been filmed entirely in Greece. There are exterior scenes on the islands of Delos and Hydra, but the interiors were shot in an unnamed Athens studio according to the documentation in the tape boxes. Also, the home of Maria Galonis (Ruth Roman) seems to have been an actual residence on Hydra (these scenes will show up on subsequent tapes). The thirteen tapes I have from the Karlovassi production contain audio for almost every scene in the episode.

The first tape is from 11 May 1967. The location is Delos where the conclusion of the show takes place. The second and third tapes are from 15 & 16 May and contain a number of different scenes from the Hydra location. Christian "Chris" Nyby is the director. It's fun when Culp and Cosby manage to do something to crack him up, like their heavily improvised tic-tac-toe game at the end of the first tape. Michael Preece, the script supervisor, sometimes feeds actors lines. I think the audio guy whose voice announces the takes is Brad Trask. In addition to Ruth Roman, the voices of actors Walter Slezak (Dennis) and Peter Wyngarde (George) are heard.

Sometimes the audio is picked up via Fouad Said's proto radio mikes. It's pretty obvious when this is the case. There are a lot of fun little moments on these tapes which I'll leave for the listener to discover.

The play All for Love or, the World Well Lost was written by John Dryden in 1677. It focuses on the last hours in the lives of Marc Antony and Cleopatra. Culp and Carroll play Antony and Cleopatra respectively. (This time Elayne Carroll doesn't play an older woman!) Culp is quite intense here. The play, as adapted and directed by Elayne Carroll and Robert M. Culp for LP, is presented below in four parts. I apologize for the less than pristine condition of the record.

Marc Antony - Robert M. Culp
