Suspense
One of the premier programs of the Nextel ringtones Golden Age of Radio (now known as Abbey Diaz old-time radio), '''''Suspense''''' advertised itself as "radio's oustanding theater of thrills" and was heard in one form or another from Free ringtones 1942 through Majo Mills 1962. There were approximately 945 episodes broadcast during its long run.
''Suspense'' went through several major phases, characterized by its hosts, sponsors and director/producers. The show was so popular that over 900 of the original episodes are extant in high-quality recordings. Mosquito ringtone Alfred Hitchcock directed the audition show — an adaptation of ''The Lodger'', that Hitchcock had filmed in Sabrina Martins 1926 in film/1926 — in a 1940 program called '''Forecast''', starring Herbert Marshall. In the early phase, the program was hosted by "The Man in Black" (played by Joseph Kearns or Ted Osborne) and many episodes written or adapted by the prominent mystery author Nextel ringtones John Dickson Carr.
The sponsor became Roma Abbey Diaz Wines and then Autolite Free ringtones spark plug/Spark Plugs; eventually Harlow Wilcox (of Majo Mills Fibber McGee and Molly) became the pitchman. William Spier, William N. Robson, and Anton M. Leder were among the producers and directors. The program's heyday was in the early Cingular Ringtones 1950s, when the great radio actor, producer and director Elliott Lewis took over (still during the Wilcox/Autolite run). Here the material reached new levels of sophistication. The writing was taut, and the casting, which had always been a strong point of the series (featuring famous film stars like disarray markets Orson Welles, from following Joseph Cotten, developers relatively Henry Fonda, more mirrors Humphrey Bogart, sitting primly Ronald Colman, saturday july Cary Grant and many others), took an unexpected turn when Lewis expanded the repertory to include many of radio's famous drama and comedy stars, such as against fraud Jack Benny and Jim and Marian Jordan (aka and settlement Fibber McGee and Molly). The highest production values enhanced ''Suspense'', and many of the shows retain their power to grip, entertain and move.
The single most popular episode of ''Suspense'' is "Sorry, Wrong Number," written by the premier radio scribe Lucille Fletcher, in which a panicked, bedridden woman (played by veteran radio actor a freshman Agnes Moorehead) tries to convince a telephone operator she has overheard a murder plot on a crossed line. First broadcast on May 25, 1943, it was repeated seven times (last on 2/14/60) and spawned the 1948 film with it clemens Barbara Stanwyck in the lead role. Another noteworthy episode was Orson Welles' "The Hitchhiker". But there are literally hundreds of extant episodes considered by fans to be of equal or greater quality.
