BONUS - More Favorites from '46

Jul 8, 2025

I had too many favorite 1946 Suspense shows for one episode! In this bonus installment, I'm sharing five more of my most-loved "tales well calculated" from '46. Brian Donlevy stars as Duncan Maclain, the blind detective created by Baynard Kendrick in an adaptation of Kendrick's mystery "Out of Control" (originally aired on CBS on March 28, 1946). Agnes Moorehead - the first lady of Suspense - stars in "Post Mortem," a story from Cornell Woolrich about a dead husband and a lottery ticket (originally aired on CBS on April 4, 1946). An all-star cast of Hollywood radio players presents the story of a comatose man who's got a date with the undertaker in "Dead Ernest" (originally aired on CBS on August 8, 1946). Lloyd Nolan and Vincent Price head to the woods but only one of them is coming home in "Hunting Trip" (orginally aired on CBS on September 12, 1946). And Joseph Cotten is plagued by the image of a dead body that only he can see in "The Thing in the Window" (originally aired on CBS on December 19, 1946).
