Episode 399 – The Great Willard (Escape & The Whistler)

Willard Waterman may be best known for his long and very funny run on radio as The Great Gildersleeve , but he showed off his serious side on some of the era's best crime dramas. We'll hear him as a detective tracking a killer in the jungle of Borneo in "Red Wine" from Escape (originally aired on CBS on August 11, 1949). Then, he's a murderer plotting the perfect crime in "The New Mrs. Devlin" from The Whistler (originally aired on CBS on November 6, 1949).
