What you're about to see is not a pilot episode in the traditional sense.
At the end of 1949, the producers of You Bet Your Life decided to record a radio episode on film in order to make a deal for a TV version of the series. As we know the TV version launched in October 1950, and ran for 11 seasons, ending in 1961. The radio version aired on ABC, CBS, & NBC radio for 13 years (1947-60).
Not included is a commercial with a voiceover by Myron Wallace, aka Mike Wallace.
Ah, the unpredictability of a live broadcast.
Rating: A.
