Book Reviews of Tales of Mystery and Suspense: "Radio's Outstanding Theater of Thrills" (Tales of Mystery and Suspense , Vol 10)
Book Review: Tales for the Imagination
Summary: 5 Stars
Radio's most outstanding theatre of thrills was most certainly "Suspense." Whether it was a man spending the night in a haunted castle, a lonely woman stealing a baby, or a murderer among a bus of people trapped in a blizzard, listeners knew they could always rely on "Suspense" for excitement and entertainment.
The eight shows on this volume (9) include: "The Devil's Saint" -- (Peter Lorre) "The Morrison Affair" -- (Madeleine Carroll) -- "In Fear and Trembling" -- (Mary Astor) -- "The Clock and the Rope" -- (Jackie Cooper) -- "Return Trip" -- (Elliot Reid) -- "The Twist" -- (Michael O'Shea) -- "Fugue in C-Minor" -- (Vincent Price and Ida Lupino) "Knight Comes Riding" (Virginia Bruce and Howard Duff)
So there will be no confusion, the eight shows in volume 10, which for some reason is linked with 9, are as follows: The Pit and the Pendulum -- Jose Ferrer, Sell Me Your Life -- Lee Bowman, Chicken Feed -- Ray Milland, A Friend to Alexander -- Robert Young and Geraldine Fitzgerald, Marry for Murder -- Lillian Gish, Tree of Life -- Marc Stevens, Till Death Do Us Part -- Peter Lorre, I Won't Take a Minute -- Lee Bowman
"Her Knight Comes Riding" is especially good, with a twist ending you don't see coming. And silent film fans will enjoy Lillian Gish's turn starring in one of the finest shows ever to find its way into homes week after thrilling week.
Listening to this greatest of old radio shows will help you appreciate why it ruled the airwaves for so many years. These were quality productions with great stars and terrific writing. Our imaginations could run wild for a time and picture all that was happening, even the shocking parts.
Wait for those familiar and ominous bells with the lights out, as Autolite or Roma Wines takes you into a world of the imagination, and Suspense!
