About this episode
We launch our show with the one and only Orson Welles. The legendary actor, writer, and director made nine appearances on Suspense , beginning with "The Hitch-Hiker." We'll hear that tale of terror on the highway (originally aired on CBS on September 2, 1942). Then, we'll hear Mr. Welles as both a master magician and his young rival in "The Marvelous Barastro" (originally aired on CBS on April 13, 1944).
