Description

This is a rebroadcast of the original Suspense! Radio Show. Suspense is a radio drama series broadcast on CBS Radio from 1940 through 1962. One of the premier drama programs of the Golden Age of Radio, was subtitled "radio's outstanding theater of thrills" and focused on suspense thriller-type scripts, usually featuring leading Hollywood actors of the era. Approximately 945 episodes were broadcast during its long run, and more than 900 still exist.

Suspense went through several major phases, characterized by different hosts, sponsors, and director/producers. Formula plot devices were followed for all but a handful of episodes: the protagonist was usually a normal person suddenly dropped into a threatening or bizarre situation; solutions were "withheld until the last possible second"; and evildoers were usually punished in the end.

In its early years, the program made only occasional forays into science fiction and fantasy. Notable exceptions include adaptations of Curt Siodmak's Donovan's Brain and H. P. Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror", but by the late 1950s, such material was regularly featured. - via Wikipedia

Shadow never liked Dutch or working for his detective agency. She’d done her final case and thought she was through with Dutch when she married Jimmy Conway but then one day Dutch turned up wanting her to work on a case for him, a closed case that had been nagging him as he still felt that it was murder. A case that Shadow had done the groundwork for, the Conway case! Dutch was convinced that Shadow’s husband had killed his first wife but Shadow was sure that he was clean and decent.Stars Lana TurnerAbout UsSuspense! is a rebroadcast of the original 1940 CBS Radio Show.

The script was subsequently produced on Suspense on April 26, 1951. An excellent tale of murder and suspense that keeps you on the edge of your chair for the duration. The plot is quite simple and pretty much standard radio show thriller format, but the acting and sub-plot keep you interested as the story unfolds. The story starts off with a wife murdering her husband. This is not a spur of the moment domestic killing, but a thoroughly well plotted, premeditated, cold-blooded killing. The wife things she has been very clever and believes she has got away with it, but her husband's death comes back to haunt her in a very peculiar way.Stars Agnes MooreheadAbout UsSuspense! is a rebroadcast of the original 1940 CBS Radio Show.
