About this episode
Robert Ryan was a classic big screen heavy, a memorable menace in Crossfire , Bad Day at Black Rock , and more. He was a terrific tough guy, but offscreen, he was a pacifist who supported the civil rights movement and opposed McCarthyism. We'll hear him opposite Ruth Warrick in the sixty-minute Suspense drama "Beyond Reason" (originally aired on CBS on February 21, 1948).
