Book Reviews of Tales of Mystery and Suspense: Vol. 10: Radio's Outstanding Theater of Thrills
Book Review: Tales of Suspense!
Summary: 5 Stars
Those ominous chimes! Each week listeners of old time radio awaited them eagerly for what they knew would be another solid tale of mystery and suspense. "Suspense" was certainly one of the finest radio shows ever broadcast into homes. Roma Wines and Autolite became houshold names because they sponsored radio's best written show of its kind.
Famous stars of the day were always delighted to appear on "Suspense." It was not only great exposure between film releases, but offered a chance to stretch their acting skills. Those stars are in evidence here in this collection. Even stars associated with silent film, such as Lillian Gish, thrilled audiences in dark tales of crime and sometimes the supernatural.
The eight shows in volume 10 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)
Star power and tense and involving stories combined to make "Suspense" one of the most enduring shows ever to rule the airwaves. A fantastic starter kit for those new to the medium or a nice addition to the radio buff's collection.
