Collits' Inn is a 1943 Australian radio play based on the 1932 stage musical of the same name.
The ABC broadcast a version again in 1948.[2]
Another production aired in 1950. One listener complained "the script-writer took some unwarrantable liberties with it. The story was actually altered in parts, and the dialogue was quite out of character with the period covered by the play, making it disconnected and patchy. Could not the original version of it have been retained and the dialogue simply abridged? "[3]
The play was aired again in 1951 as part of an ABC series of musical comedies.[4]
