Fun episode, definitely a classic. Loved how Welles hams it up, then the switches voices. Really great when he goes back into the voice while talking to the narrator.

This was one of my all time fave episodes of the podcast. What fun! The identity of the murder surprised me, it was a delight hearing Orson Welles make fun of Orson Welles, all the rest of the cast was perfect, the villain was super-creepy, and I LOVED the wink at the audience at the end “everyone listening to these words gets it but you”

Totally wonderful!

The actor playing Stanley is Hans Conried, a prolific actor who appeared in many episodes of Suspense. For a while he appeared in so many that it seemed like he was one of the program's stock players.

This was such fun! Welles' performance reminds me quite a bit of a later radio show. one of my favorite comedies, The Magnificent Montague. In that show, a vain Shakespearean actor is reduced to playing in a treacly radio soap. Montague is played by Monty Woolley, best known for his starring role in the film The Man Who Came to Dinner - which was written by George S. Kaufman and based on Alexander Woollcott.
