anyone notice the Leroy is the radio news announcer?


I could swear that was Henry Jones (sounding more like the intelligent, sophisticated characters he usually played) doing the radio news flash about the drowning at the Fern School.

According to Patty McCormack, it is. Such "doubling-up" wasn't unusual on the stage, but in the film I think it's more of an in-joke, for surely the budget would have allowed for another voice-actor.
