About this episode
The first lady of Suspense , comedy legends, Oscar-winning stars, and some of radio's best character actors fill out the casts of my favorite Suspense shows from 1951. Agnes Moorehead races across town to save a stranger from a date with a killer in "The Death Parade" (originally aired on CBS on February 15, 1951), and Ronald Colman is a nightclub psychic who discovers his act may no longer be a fake in "A Vision of Death" (originally aired on CBS on March 8, 1951). Jack Benny plays a piano tuner who ends up with a bag of stolen money in "Murder in G-Flat" (originally aired on CBS on April 5, 1951), and Phil Harris and Alice Faye face a lynch mob in "Death on My Hands" (originally aired on CBS on May 10, 1951). A cast of veteran radio actors star in a tale of atomic espionage in "The Case for Dr. Singer" (originally aired on June 28, 1951), and Agnes Moorehead returns as a phony spiritualist who may be too convincing for her own good in "The Murder of Adelaide Winters" (originally aired on CBS on September 10, 1951). Charles Laughton plays a notorious murderer from the history books in "Neal Cream, Doctor of Poison" (originally aired on CBS on September 17, 1951). And we close with a double dose of Richard Widmark. He stars in the tale of a bloody post-Civil War Texas feud in "The Hunting of Bob Lee" (originally aired on CBS on October 29, 1951) and as a radio mystery writer who plots an on-air murder in "A Murderous Revision" (originally aired on CBS on December 3, 1951).
