Suspense
presented
plays
dealing
with life
and death
situations,
but themes
were
generally
realistic,
with
occasional
science-fiction
exceptions.
At its
peak,
Suspense
was one of
radio’s
best. Film
stars
loved it.
For the
first few
years the
shows were
introduced
by “The
Man in
Black”
originally
played by
Joseph
Kearns.
Its
opening
was one of
radio’s
best-remembered
classics;
“the
hushed
voice and
the
prowling
step … the
stir of
nerves at
the
ticking of
the clock
… the
rescue
that might
be too
late, or
the
murderer
who might
get away …
we invite
you to
enjoy
stories
that keep
you in …
Suspense…”
