Gene Kelly dances his way to “radio’s outstanding theatre of thrills” in two shows that are miles away from his screen persona. The star of An American in Paris and Singin’ in the Rain leaves his dazzling footwork at the door for a pair of tense, well-calculated tails: “Thieves Fall Out” (originally aired on CBS on November 16, 1943) and “Death Went Along for the Ride” (originally aired on CBS on April 27, 1944).

Gregory Peck returns to “Stars On Suspense” in two old time radio thrillers – a pair of tales about the dangers that can lurk on the highway. First, Peck thumbs a ride with the wrong man in “Hitch-Hike Poker” (originally aired on CBS on September 16, 1948). Then, he’s a grieving father looking for revenge on a drunk driver in “Nightmare” (originally aired on CBS on September 1, 1949).

2017/05/18

Glamorous leading lady Lana Turner had a career that spanned five decades from her discovery at a Hollywood café all the way up to her final television appearances. But the Oscar-nominated actress had a tumultuous personal life – including a murder scandal – that could overshadow her screen work. In her two appearances on Suspense, Turner showed off her versatility in a pair of very different roles. We’ll hear her as a woman terrorized by a painting in “Fear Paints a Picture” (originally aired on

One of the great gangster stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood, Edward G. Robinson excelled at playing all types of characters over his fifty year career. From Nazi hunters to cagey sleuths to desperate criminals, Robinson delivered memorable performances with a signature style that is still imitated today. We'll hear him in an unusual double role as himself and as "The Man Who Wanted to Be Edward G. Robinson" (originally aired on CBS on September 30, 1948). Then, he's a man out to profit from his

Stars on Suspense (Old Time Radio) ·

2017/05/04

Known as "the queen of film noir," Claire Trevor was amazing on screen as tough dames and gun molls (including Murder, My Sweet and her Oscar-winning turn in Key Largo). But the actress could play more than noir as she demonstrated over long career in movies like Stagecoach and The High and the Mighty. We'll hear two of her visits to Suspense - a series where she got to put her talent at playing tough women to good use: "The Plan" (originally aired on CBS on May 16, 1946) and "The Blue Hour"

Episode 31 - Lucille Ball (Part 2)

Stars on Suspense (Old Time Radio) ·

2017/04/27

Before she was a TV star, and even before she kept audiences smiling with her radio comedy series, Lucille Ball delivered tough noir performances in episodes of Suspense. She was as talented in the world of drama and thrills as she was with slapstick and a punchline. The red-headed legend returns for two more “tales well calculated” – “The Ten Grand” (originally aired on CBS on June 22, 1944) and “A Shroud for Sarah” (originally aired on CBS on October 25, 1945).

Actor John Hodiak was born April 16, 1914. After working in radio (where he voiced the comic strip character Lil' Abner), Hodiak got his big break in movies when he was cast opposite Tallulah Bankhead in Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat. Despite some ups and downs (including a stretch in the late 1940s when he was branded "box office poison"), Hodiak continued to find success on screen and the stage. He originated the role of Lt. Maryk on Broadway in The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, a role that won him

Whether he was singing and dancing, breaking the law, or wielding a grapefruit, James Cagney never failed to deliver energetic, compelling performances on the big screen. The Oscar-winner gave audiences a series of memorable roles that are still admired – and imitated – today. For his first appearance on Suspense, Cagney returned to the world of gangster drama in an hour-long radio adaptation of James M. Cain’s “Love’s Lovely Counterfeit” (originally aired on CBS on January 17, 1948).

Bette Davis made only one appearance on Suspense, but it was a doozy. The two-time Oscar winner and ten-time nominee stands as one of the biggest legends of old Hollywood with a career and tumultuous personal life that continues to fascinate fans today. We’ll hear her in “Goodnight Mrs. Russell,” originally aired on CBS on October 20, 1949. Plus, she reprises her award-winning role from Jezebel in a production from Academy Award (originally aired on CBS on March 30, 1946).

Happy Birthday, Frank Lovejoy

Stars on Suspense (Old Time Radio) ·

2017/03/28

Actor Frank Lovejoy was born March 28, 1912. In his all-too short career before his death at age 50, Lovejoy appeared on the big and small screens in memorable roles. One of my favorites is his turn as Detective Nicolai, an old friend of Humphrey Bogart's who begins to suspect Bogie of murder in Nicholas Ray's In a Lonely Place. Old time radio fans may know him best as Chicago reporter Randy Stone in the outstanding dramatic mystery series Night Beat, a role he played from 1950 to 1952. But

Oscar-winning actress Joan Crawford was born March 23, 1904. After bursting on to the Hollywood scene in the 1930s with success in both silent films and talkies - an era where she was one of the highest-paid women in America, she closed out the decade branded as “box office poison.” However, a comeback with her title role in Mildred Pierce (the performance that earned her a Best Actress Academy Award) revived her career and put her back on top in Hollywood.

Episode 26 - Ozzie and Harriet

Stars on Suspense (Old Time Radio) ·

2017/03/23

Ozzie Nelson and Harriet Hilliard were the stars of their own long-running radio and television sitcoms, but before they took their adventures to TV they made a pair of memorable appearances on Suspense. Playing effectively against type, the Nelsons showed listeners a different side of themselves in these tense, dramatic stories. We’ll hear them in “Too Little to Live On” (originally aired on December 26, 1947) and “Going, Going, Gone” (originally aired on November 23, 1950).
