Suspense on a roll


(5 stars)

After a year and a half on the air, Suspense is now on it's way to become more than just a radio drama. More and more the program attracts big name actors and the writing is very sharp. 1944 is a good year for stories, and it's also the one you'll want to hear "Sorry, Wrong Number" It's the third production, but the best if all seven. The first version was actually fouled up by an actors miscue plus it has poor audio quality, and the later versions are hacked away in length from commercials. (The late 50's version is only 19 min.) So, begin here and enjoy thru 1955, as '56 is nearly all do- overs and repeats.

Awesome!!!
