About this episode
A busy character actor on the big and small screens, Sam Edwards was also a versatile radio performer. Even in his 30s, he could still play teens - to comedic effect on Meet Corliss Archer or in dramas like Gunsmoke and Dragnet . But he was also effective at playing adults in shows all around the dial, including Suspense . We'll hear him as man on the run, accused of murder and without shoes, in "Too Hot to Live" (originally aired on CBS on June 29, 1954). Then, he stars in a tense tale of Russian roulette - "The Game" (AFRS rebroadcast from March 15, 1955). Finally, Edwards plays a jealous man who plots revenge against his boss and the woman they both love in "This Will Kill You" (originally aired on CBS on November 29, 1955).
