Critiques

East/West Broadcasts


(5 étoiles)

Back in the day, all radio shows were broadcast live. (in fact, for many years, there actually was a law that REQUIRED this, eventually the law was killed) Because the majority of the audience was in the east, most shows, Suspense included, did one performance at 5 pm California time (8 pm eastern) and a 2nd performance at 8 for the west coast. There's many reasons the 2 performances sounded a little different. One would be the actor or director wasn't happy the way a line was delivered the 1st time, another (and this ocurred more often than you might think) is that some people involved with the show had 3 hours to kill, so many would go out to dinner, and a few would have a little "liquid courage," which would most defenitely change the way they delivered a line! The one thing that still amazes me, is how VERY FEW times do you hear an actor make a mistake! The handful that I've noticed are minor. Ther is ONE Suspense episode that I'm reminded of, however, and I think it would fall under "the most unenthusiastic performance on Suspense" category. (I can't think of the title) but look for the one with SONNY TUFTS - He can't get through his opening lines, and shows very little emotion throughout the broadcast. Finally, now that I've listened to every episode multiple times, I must say that the ELLIOTT LEWIS productions stand out as the very best, also, I think HEREBERT MARSHALL was the best male actor (we all know the best female) with JOSEPH COTTEN a very close 2nd. Lately, I've been trying to count the number of times JOSEPH KEARNS made an appearance (in addition to his introduction duties) so far, I've heard him play roles (big and small) in more than 100 episodes. Kearns also played poor Mr. Wilson, on "Dennis the Menace" until he stroked out in 1960. For high quality productions and good entertainment to listen to in addition to Supense, I suggest (most of you already know) "Escape" plus another production by "Mr. Radio" himself, Elliott Lewis, is "CRIME CLASSICS." The majority of the Crime Classics episodes have very good audio quality, too. REMEMBER, pass along this great form of entertainment to everyone you know, as interest in Classic Radio is on a down swing. Don't let it be forgotten, and if you have kids, turn them on to the great Sci Fi shows and horror (the stuff kids love) it's all safe and good entertainment for young people, playlists are posted all over on you tube, and the best part is every one is FREE! Go right ahead and post any questions here, I enjoy providing any help I can! (It gives me something to do 'cause I'm disabled, and can no longer do much else) Keep listening!

I'm hooked

I love all these old shows..I must admit I'm not into all this computer generated nonsense..All could appreciate the work went into these old radio show...I'm not old and not young these are all way before my time..But I can say hats off to these shows and the actors and writers..THANK YOU otrr for such golden age radio shows...

.


It took a while, but I finally made it through this fantastic collection. I admit that there were quite a few episodes that I didn't love, but the number of absolute classic OTR episodes found in this series more than make up for the ones I didn't care for. My top 15 episodes (not in order): The Hitchhiker (09.02.42) The Sin Eater (07.08.62) Momentum (10.27.49) Donovan's Brain (05.18.44) The Man Who Knew How to Hate (07.16.61) Three Skeleton Key (11.11.56) The House in Cypress Canyon (12.05.46) The Strange Death of Charles Umberstein (11.23.43) The Yellow Wallpaper (07.29.48) Kaleidoscope (07.12.55) Dark Journey (04.25.46) Sorry, Wrong Number (11.18.48) Never Steal a Butcher's Wife (12.29.57) Carnival (01.28.52) Deep, Deep is My Love (04.26.59) Some more good episodes: The Lost Special (09.30.43) Lunch Kit (04.12.55) Consequence (05.19.49) Cricket (03.15.45) Crime Without Passion (05.02.46) The Waxwork (03.01.59) Three Blind Mice (01.30.47) Blood Sacrifice (03.30.50) Love, Honor, or Murder (06.29.50) The Long Wait (11.24.49) The Day I Died (06.30.49) The Perfectionist (01.21.52) A Vision of Death (03.08.51)) Remember Me (05.03.55) Variations on a Theme (02.07.56) Quiet Night (03.06.56) A Case of Identity (09.25.56) The Digger (10.09.56) The Black Door (11.19.61) Some episodes that I liked but that I think were a bit flawed: Eve (10.19.44) John Barbey and Son (2.22.45) The Pasteboard Box (01.17.46) The Too Perfect Alibi (01.13.49) On a Country Road (11.16.50) Final Payment (01.13.55) Classified Secret (11.22.55) Present Tense (03.03.57) Fly By Night (09.28.50) Murder Strikes Three Times (02.16.50) A few random thoughts: Orson Welles is a genius. William Conrad is the king of OTR voice actors. "The Yellow Wallpaper" is probably the best audio horror story I've ever heard. Agnes Moorehead is rightfully famed for her fantastic performance in "Sorry, Wrong Number" but I think she tops herself with "The Yellow Wallpaper." "Kaleidoscope" is a phenomenal ensemble piece by the veteran character actors who worked for CBS at the time. I really like this one. For some reason, I am constantly surprised by just how good Joseph Cotten was as an actor. His work on Suspence (and on Alfred Hitchcock Presents) was really something special. Cathy Lewis deserves some accolades for her contributions too. She added a lot to the show, imo.

Practically the best radio mystery show ever


(5 étoiles)

I enjoy this series very much and I much prefer Suspense over some of the other radio mysteries like Inner Sanctum, The Whistler, and Lights Out. I have been listening to Suspense since I was in middle school and high school. I would listen to this show while riding the city bus, or walk around, or while I was out at the malls. These tales are chilling, exciting, and of course suspenseful. The film stars who appeared in them gave it an extra boost of excellent entertainment. Where else could you hear Lucille Ball playing a scheming villianess who will do anything to acheive her ambitions, or Peter Lorre playing a hen-pecked husband who finally murders his shrewish wife and buries her in the cellar, or Danny Kaye playing a ex-con who is suspected in a murder, or Charles Laughton playing a infamous Victorian poisoner who has baffled the police for many years. Suspense is great to listen to for all those who enjoy mysteries or hearing the fabulous stars of the 30's and 40's who has made this series a radio hit.

The Longest Running Favorite


(4 étoiles)

If your program runs long enough you're bound to get a classic or two but Suspense has more than it's fair share. Some of my Favorites are not the most popular but they are worth a listen. They include: * Pigeon In A Cage * The Man Who Wanted to be Edward G Robinson (a comedy of sorts starring the man of course) *Ghost Story (a great Halloween episode) *The Thing in the Window *Hitch Hike Poker *On A Country Road *Backseat Driver (starring Fibber McGee & Molly- they even introduce them as this instead of their real names Marion & Jim Jordan) *Christmas for Carole (great Christmas story starring Dennis Day from Jack Benny) *The Screaming Woman (great Thanksgiving story) *Too Hot To Live Try these out and you will stick around for about 500 more.

What a treasure trove! A fantastic show with many, many justly acclaimed episodes. This collection is in excellent sound - and, speaking personally, I was absolutely delighted to find the Robert Montgomery version of In A Lonely Place (which, starring Humphrey Bogart, has long been my favourite film) that I've been after for ages now. A tight show, Suspense features uniformly first rate performances, music and direction. Dig in!

Devil Stone 'irony' for FlickFanshow


(5 étoiles)

referring to the title of the last ep being 'ironically' devil stone...it appears to be an editing artifact because you are right, it is an apparent non sequitur. In other words there its n ironic about devil stone because that phrase has no meaning to the average english speaker. I realize I am way out on a limb here taking it in myself latin and obscure occult references believe mr I'm no expert on these things. I just feel for the fellow reader who is so bugged by this. I find it touching that s/he cares so much what another stranger is trying to say. That's one of the things to love about librivox: ' stranger' loses its meaning in this new dimension I find, don't you? I really do care what you think. Update: the writer of Devilstone (apparently correct sp) real surname is Johnstone...could this be the answer? It's not quite as non sequitirish, but I still think it's an editing glitch or typo to go all otr.

Suspense performed and broadcast twice?

The sound of these is good, very good. Kudos to the uploader. It is a somewhat odd sensation to recognize differences in the way lines are read between these recordings and the particular versions I have heard for years now. This was so for all the episodes in this group I sampled. Is it a matter of West Coast vs. East Coast versions? It seems to me I read this explanation somewhere on this site a few years back, but I can't find it. Thanks.
