1:41
Hello, operator, operator, got me the office of John J.
1:45
Malone. The American Broadcasting Company presents The Amazing Mister Malone. An exciting half
1:57
hour of mystery is darring Jean Raymond. Our locale is the city of Chicago.
2:04
The time for presence. I'm a hero of these weekly adventures, the
2:08
amazing mister Malone. Malone is the name John J. Malone, attorney and
2:27
counselor at law. To night, I want to take my chex for mas
2:30
Fables. It was who first observed that appearances can be deceiving. Of course,
2:36
he was thinking of the wolf and cheap clothing that he might just as
2:38
well have had Carl Riker in mind. Mister Riker is the tall, poetic
2:42
looking gentleman in the rear of a cadillaccident tearing down Chicago's Southside in the rain.
2:46
If you were judging solely by appearances, you'd say, here's a gentleman
2:50
and a scholar, and you'd be right. No students could be more diligent
2:53
than he is in his search for the truth much further Michael, Nah,
2:58
it's the Las's house on this block, that one. Yeah, anyway you
3:05
want, I should wait out here for as you will. In that case,
3:07
I think I'm going and watch the fun Uh hey, well you're looking
3:12
at it for excuse me if I fail to admire the beauties of nature right
3:15
now? Just uh, just what are you thinking on doing, mister Rager,
3:20
I hardly know myself. I'm such a creature of impulse. A friend,
3:31
Yes, mister Cromwell, right, so nice to know you. My
3:36
name is Riker Raggers. Yes, I'm just gentlemen, mister Michael. What
3:40
do you boys want? May we? Uh? My name means little to
3:46
you, mister Cromwell. That my wife would mean more. The given name
3:52
is Laura, Laura Riker is your incredible, isn't it? What do you
3:59
want here? I'm a peculiar sort of a man, mister Cromwell. I
4:01
have an unusual fixation. You're familiar with psychiatry. No, Well, an
4:06
analyst would say to me, I have very strong acquisitive instincts, definitely antisocial.
4:13
Right, I can't bring myself to share any of my belongings. Look,
4:16
I can get to the point you must forgive me said, I do
4:19
have a tendency to wander anytime I do. Please don't hesitate a very simple
4:25
thing. Have you worth mentioning your life? Crazy? Hey? Put that
4:30
gun away, mister Rucker. I didn't bargain for nothing like that. No,
4:33
I'm sure you didn't. I listen, mister, you got this all
4:35
wrong. I've not got it with your wife? Ask Laura, tell you
4:40
you disappoint me, mister Cromwell, I expected better of you. What are
4:44
you afraid of? Have you ever read Aristophomy? No? Well, but
4:47
it was he who wrote but what is death but an eternal sleep? So
4:53
I say to you, pleasant dreams, mister Cromwell. No, don't,
5:10
Dave. I'm so glad I decided to take all right, who's there?
5:25
Well, I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm looking for a Dave Cromwell?
5:30
Are you? Did you have a brother named George? You mean?
5:33
Did I have a better? Thank you? Nasty night, isn't it?
5:42
Don't tell me you dropped in just to get in out of the rain.
5:44
Well, I hardly know where to begin. You might try the beginning,
5:48
all right? An hour ago we got a call from the superintendent of your
5:51
brother's place. So when we got down there, we found him murdered.
5:58
He'd been shot twice. You wouldn't have any idea at all. I realized
6:02
what a shock this must be, mister Cromwell. If you'd like, I
6:06
can come back later. You do that You wouldn't want to venture? No,
6:10
I wouldn't. I'm sorry. Yeah, sure, Well, good night,
6:15
Good night missus Cromwell, darling, you're not going on? Do you
6:19
hear what I said? Hey? What are you doing? You give me
6:27
that gun? Did you know who killed George? I got a pretty good
6:30
idea. Take care of him, Darling. Listen to me? Why should
6:34
I when you don't listen to mean not? Go on? Get it?
6:38
Got a lot of work to do tonight. Serious swaying on the south side,
6:55
George Cromwell, age thirty one. Laura, you are a darling.
7:00
I was talking to you. What do you want, Carl? Would you
7:05
care to see the paper? No? Thanks? No, Angel, I
7:09
can't understand you. You can. You seem to have no desire to keep
7:13
up with what's going on in the world. These are momentous times. Love.
7:17
Every day brings something new and take to night's edition for example, right
7:21
here on the first page, Carl, I want to talk to you.
7:25
Of course there I'm all is I want a divorce? Disappoint me? I
7:29
thought we were going to have a serious talk. I am serious. You
7:31
can't be. You've been through this before. You know how I feel?
7:34
Yes, you, Oh, I want a divorce, Karl. Perhaps you'd
7:40
better read this truth A serious slaying on SASA. The young man's name was
7:46
Cromwell. Didn't you know someone by that name? You killed him? Darling,
7:54
you're jumping to conclusion. Not so loud, Laura, what will the
7:58
servants think? Shall we continue our discussion of divorce? I'll pay you back
8:03
to this upset. Go to sleep, La, you feel better in the
8:07
morning. Larry's barn Groove. It's mister Michaels there. Hey you boys,
8:28
seen Kalkie Michaels around. I'm sorry, Pelly in here. Well, if
8:33
he should come in when you please ask him to call mister Carl Riker.
8:37
That's it again, r I kay, oh, oh, it's funny.
8:48
Hey you guys. Ever hear of a Carl Riker before? I got a
8:54
feeling? I just heard the last It was just one of those things,
9:11
just one of those crazy things, one of those bills that now and then
9:16
rings, Just one of those things. It was just one of those nights,
9:22
just one of those fat moms. You know. I thought you were
9:26
never gonna make it. I beg you generally. I'm interrupted in the first
9:31
sixteen bars. What's your name, friend, Kenneth Harrison. You're probably wondering
9:35
how I got in it own. I'm not even gonna ask unless you've got
9:37
something better to offer than the door was open. You're not gonna believe this
9:41
this morning. No, so you might as well spare me. If if,
9:45
perhaps this will make up for it. Hey, what do you call
9:48
that stuff? Anyway? Money? I thought it looked familiar. I once
9:52
saw something about three years ago. I was twenty five hundred dollars in this
9:54
morning it's all yours, I give away show you're with? Did you see
9:58
this morning's paper? Well? Did you have to notice a story about the
10:01
murder of a gentleman named Kyle? Right? Yeah, the police are holding
10:05
his wife. His wife happens to be my sister. I see, do
10:07
you maybe not? I'd like you to represent her. This money should be
10:11
sufficient for retainner if I take the case. Why should you refuse to Well,
10:16
first of all, you want to assure yourself that Laura is innocent.
10:20
How do you know I'm going to say that I'm really anticipated? Well,
10:22
I tell you, Harris happened? Do you talk to Laura? You want
10:24
to talk to me again? Did you ever think of going in from mind
10:28
reading? I had considered it. Well, if I if you should want
10:31
to reach me at the hotel. Here you go again, say do you
10:33
know everything? Just loud and maybe you can tell me why I got a
10:37
feeling I've just been had. Okay, Harrison, I'll be seeing you.
10:48
You are listening to the Amazing Mister Malone starring Jean Raymond. I know everybody
11:00
likes a bargain. That's the American way. We like to know that we're
11:03
getting more than our money's worth when we buy something, and buying United States
11:07
Savings bonds would be getting more than your money's worth. Return of four dollars
11:11
for every three invested's pretty good deal. And that's what United States E class
11:16
Savings bonds pay it maturity. So take advantage now of the opportunity to buy
11:22
United States Savings bonds. They can be purchased at banks or post offices or
11:28
through the payroll savings plan where you work. Think of your future today and
11:31
buy United States Savings bonds. And now back to the Amazing Mister Malone.
11:50
Thirty two minutes and seventeen seconds later, I was down at police headquarter,
11:54
which was twelve minutes and fourteen seconds over schedule, and I stopped off at
11:58
the bank first where I discovered that the twenty five hundred bucks Kenneth Harrison had
12:03
wished on me were apparently genuine with his accent, I had a feeling it
12:05
might be Confederate money. Then I hustled over the headquarters during my fee.
12:09
Believe me, when you deal with a guy like Lieutenant Brooks, you're really
12:13
doing it the hard way. Well, mister Malone, Uh huh, that's
12:18
a nice snappy comeback. Uh huh. How do you think of things like
12:22
that? I listened to Bob Hope. Where's my client? Sessman? Send
12:26
in missus Riker. Wait a minute, Brooks, how did you know I
12:28
was representing missus Riker? Oh you think you're the only one who can be
12:31
amazing? Oh yeah, come in, missus Riker. Your lawyer is here
12:37
my loan. I'm John J. Malone? Who John J. Malone?
12:41
I never heard of you, Honey. You can have anything you want on
12:45
the house. Pay no attention to him, Laura, he's just sore,
12:48
because I'm gonna get you out. Just what is going on here? Your
12:50
brother retained me to represent you, my brother, Kenneth Harrison. You haven't
12:56
had time to do much research, have you, Miss Malone? What do
12:58
you mean? I'm an own What are you ambulance chasing Malone? The lieutenant,
13:03
I give you my word. This character came in and told me he
13:05
was missus Riker's brother. That's very funny. You don't know how funny it
13:09
is. He gave me a twenty five hundred dollars retainer. He wants to
13:11
help me, that's the truth. You know, A Paul, good looking
13:13
boy from below the mint jewlip line about six one? You sure I'm positive?
13:20
Oh? Why should he give me twenty five hundred dollars? I have
13:22
no idea? Well do you want me? Why should I? You could
13:26
do a lot worse, ask the lieutenant. Oh, keep me out of
13:30
this. I'm prejudiced. How do I know this isn't some true? What
13:33
can you possibly lose if you tell a straight story? Yes? Did you
13:37
say? What's all right? First of all? Did you kill your husband?
13:41
No? Okay? Then we can confer amazing, mister Malone? Already
13:45
you know she's in us already, I know. Do you also know that
13:48
she threatened her husband last night, about two hours before he died? That's
13:52
a lie. The chauffeur heard you, missus Riker. What might this chauffeur's
13:54
name be Michael's Oki, Michael Oski, Michael's. That isn't the same one.
14:00
Yeah, how long has he been working for your love? He didn't
14:01
work for me. He was employed by my husband doing what I can't imagine.
14:05
Well, I can tell you he was keeping tabs on you. I
14:07
don't believe it. You were saying a boy named George Cromwell. Weren't you
14:11
who George Cromwell? No? No, you better be careful in your answers,
14:16
missus. Ricker, you know Cromwell was murdered last night. Do you
14:20
think she did it? No? I think her husband killed him, and
14:22
then she went to work on her husband. You're insane. You weren't stepping
14:26
out with this George Cromwell on my word of honor? Michael says. Otherwise,
14:31
m I wonder why Solo visted. Riker. You're going over to see
14:35
Michaels Malone. You're wasting your time. I've already had a crack at him.
14:39
I'm glad to hear that, Lieutenant, and you certainly can't begrudge me
14:41
my turn at bat. Hey, Larry, let me have another shot,
14:54
will you? You're right with you? Michael? I buy you one?
14:58
What mana, Nicholas Michaels. Don't you remember me? Sure? I remember
15:03
you, mister Malone. As we sit down at the table you sat on.
15:05
I like this fine drink, Michaels. Uh, leave the bottle,
15:09
Larry's take it out of this falling money. You must be doing all right.
15:15
The last time I saw you, it was my tough luck. What
15:18
do you want? Malo just came from police headquarters, did you? Yeah?
15:22
Representing a lady, you know, Laura Riker? Hey, careful,
15:24
Michael, you're gonna still let drink go all over you? Look, Malone.
15:26
I don't know anything about the Riker case. That's not what Lieutenant Brooks
15:30
told me. I don't care what he told you. Should Ryker kill George
15:33
Cromwell? Oh Cromwell? Didn't you ever hear the name before? No,
15:37
that's funny. You're playing missus. Riker was stepping out with him, did
15:41
I? You're an awfully difficult man to get anything out of nowadays? Wasn't
15:46
always like this is on? He is just a bet. Surroundings aren't conducive,
15:50
they're good talk. Suppose we take a little stroll outside and come on,
15:56
Michael, Hey, Larry you want me, Yeah, come over here
16:00
and bring that bunks down with you, not me. Well, good night,
16:07
Michael, see you around. Oh you're not living man. When I'm
16:10
not wanting you don't have to hit me over the head before I get the
16:12
IDEA good evening? Is mister Dave Cromwell? Home? Are you missus Cromwell?
16:36
Well, I'm glad I know you. My name is Michaels, Cocky
16:37
and Michaels. What's your first name? Emmen, Look, mister Michaels,
16:42
if you want to see my house, I must certainly do well. I
16:45
don't expect that too late to night. That's okay, I can wait,
16:48
don't give it a thought. I got plenty of time. Yeah. I
16:52
even brought along my own refreshers. See you got a glass? Oh never
16:59
mind, I don't need Yeah. Yeah, that's good now as good as
17:08
Oh well, that's the secret, A deep doc secret. You want to
17:11
drink? Well, suit yourself, Joey hit of a man named Carl Richer.
17:18
No, that's funny. He's been on all the papers. He was
17:21
murdered last night. I used to work for him. Yeah, that's what
17:23
I wanted to see your husband about. You. See, I got Messrs
17:26
Ricker and jail. And I'm afraid of saw my fault? What's some matter
17:30
of revelent? Am I such a bad company? Here? Oh? No,
17:33
pay pay? Where do you think you're going? Oh? My aunt?
17:37
Will you behave? I sit down there? Shut up? Hey,
17:45
your husband certainly keeps late hours running. I don't think they's coming home tonight.
17:52
No, no, now that I remember, he told me that he
17:56
told you what what? How old fow? We were just discussing what's going
18:02
on here? My name is Michaels. Mister Cromwell, I wanted to talk
18:07
to you about what about the Riker case? What about it? But suppose
18:11
you're telling them missus to blow? I want to talk to this gentleman alone.
18:18
Go on, Well, you certainly got the power. How you doing?
18:29
They said, you want to talk about the Riker case? Oh oh
18:32
yeah, well you know that holding this missus? Did you read John J.
18:37
Malone was representing her. Yeah, so so he's quite a boy.
18:41
All and heed say a little lead and boom, I bet he gets the
18:44
answer just like like that. What is the answer, mister Michael, Well,
18:48
it goes back to your brother's murder. Quite acting surprise, Grandwell we
18:52
both know Ryker kill him. You know I was there? What hey,
19:00
hey, cut it out, you're chalk on me. I swear I didn't
19:03
know what Rocker was gonna do. I talked, well, somebody gave Ricker
19:07
or a bump steer. He thought his wife was seeing your brother in all
19:08
the while it was me. Yeah, I guess you must have used your
19:11
brother's apartment for them eating place with the name of this somebody who tipped off
19:15
Riker. I don't know. I think he had a private day lion.
19:21
No, I'm on Michael's admitted you were the one who brought record or my
19:22
brother. No, I swear I didn't. I get up Michaels. We're
19:27
gonna play twenty questions. Mean, Laura, thanks Sidney. Isn't he amazing?
19:45
Missing alone? I didn't expect you back tonight. I didn't expect to
19:48
be back. Did you accomplish anything? Yes? And no. I figured
19:52
out a way to prove your innocence, can you Yes? Indeed, all
19:56
you got to do is submit to an indiction of sodium amatoon. Oh what
20:00
it's what they call the truth serumon? Oh no, come on, lover,
20:03
what can you lose? Seems to me. You used that line before.
20:07
I thought those kinds of tests weren't admissible, and they are. What
20:11
good is it? Maybe I just want to convince myself. What do you
20:14
say, Laura? I always thought I was a pretty accomplished liar. Hang
20:18
on your hypodermic malone. I think I can beat it. We'll be ready
20:32
to roll in a minute, counselor Hell yeah, I'm going to donate my
20:37
life to science. Don't you think I'm entitled to know how this truth film
20:40
routine works? That's fairly simple, Laura. All hinges on your unconscious mind.
20:44
The Doc's going to give you an injection of sodium amatll that'll make you
20:48
feel drowsy. But even then, your unconscious sometimes continues to function, and
20:52
the sodium amatar releases the break. I mean, I couldn't hold out on
20:56
you even if I wanted to call or guarantees for this deal. All right,
21:00
doctor, whenever you're ready, I'm ready now, misterlone. You hold
21:03
out your arms. This won't hurt it. Sorry, Now, how will
21:14
you start counting backwards slowly? From one hundred ninety nine, ninety eight,
21:19
ninety seven, ninety six, ninety five, ninety three four ninety one ninety
21:37
she's off now, okay, Glass, what's your name? All right?
21:45
Where were you born in New York? How long did you live there?
21:52
Now? I was seventeen three hours in my little hole in the wall.
22:00
You know what it's like to be cool. That's why you married your husband?
22:04
Yes, and I know it's gonna be worse. I thought I was
22:11
bettering myself. Do you know of Kenneth Harrison Harrison? No, No,
22:22
I never heard the name before. How about a George Cromwell. I know
22:26
George. Do you ever go out with him? No? But you were
22:32
in love with him? I couldn't stand. Do you think your husband killed
22:37
him? I don't want to talk about it anymore. Listen to me,
22:42
missus right now. I told you I don't want to discussing coming alone?
22:48
Im me alone. What's the scholar tennant? Did you pass her flunk?
23:00
The doc says she lied about what she does know a Kenneth Harris, and
23:04
I thought so. But she was telling the truth when she said she didn't
23:07
go out with George Cromwell and wasn't in love with him. She wasn't.
23:11
No yet, Michael swore she was meeting Wait a minute, did Cromwell share
23:17
his apartment with anybody? Nope? Did he have any close friends? Not?
23:19
Did weiuld discover he seemed to spend most of his time with his brother.
23:22
His brother, Yeah, a fellow named Dave Cromwell Paul Well set up.
23:27
Is his brother married? Yeah? Why? Well, I would probably
23:30
explain why Dave didn't use Let's go see Michaels. What for? I just
23:36
want to check on a theory of relativity. Michaels looked like Einstein in this
23:41
case. You don't answer, Malone. That's strange. Why Michaels wasn't in
23:57
any of the bars? He should be home at this hour, are you?
24:00
He'll be funny, I'll tell you what. What's the matter? Hey,
24:06
we haven't run across from these ages? The doors unlocked? Yeah?
24:11
Got a match? See a light switch? And that ain't all brutal?
24:21
Huh? Yeah, Well, I guess we're not going to get anything out
24:25
of mister Michael's tonight, tonight or any night. Carl Homicide Malone, you
24:30
ought to know the number. By this time, you are listening to the
24:37
amazing Mister Malone starring Jean Raymond. The day is never before the Elementary Public
24:48
school system in America bas is a critical situation. The facts are alarming.
24:52
An increased birth rate during and since the war has resulted in expanded enrollments that
24:56
will crowd the elementary schools with of additional children during the next five years.
25:03
Immediate action is needed now to cope with the enormously enlarge school population. You
25:07
can help to assure a proper education for your youngsters by working with local civic
25:11
groups and school boards actively seeking to improve educational conditions. Remember, better schools
25:18
make better communities. And now back to the amazing mister Malone. Ten minutes
25:33
later, a detail from homicide arrives. It is a pleasure to watch them
25:36
work. They all made like a swarm of bees. But from the way
25:38
the lieutenant looked, I could see they hadn't found much. Honey, you're
25:41
still hanging around, Malone. No, I left an hour ago. I
25:45
wish you'd taken your head with you. Oh that's a good one, lieutenant.
25:48
We must send that the red scale. And what's up? Michael's was
25:51
killed with the same gun us down riker after someone handed him with shellacking.
25:55
How would you know that? All I have to do is look at the
25:56
body. How long has he been dead? Not very that, As I
26:00
always say, it's any wind that blows nobody good? Is that what you
26:03
always say? Yeah? But Shakespeare probably said at first, what are you
26:07
babbling about? This lets my client out as it certainly if both Michaels and
26:11
Riker were killed with the same gun, hearted missus Riker do it? Why
26:15
couldn't she? What did she use thought waves? While I was saving it
26:18
for a surprise? Malone? What After the state's attorney heard about the results
26:23
of the truth serum test, he ordered her release. See what, Yeah,
26:27
I want to come along while I pick her up. Suppose you come
26:30
along with me? First? Remember why we came here originally to check whether
26:34
Riker could have killed the wrong Cromwell, Well, Michaels can't do that first
26:37
anymore, so let's go to the next best source. Hello, missus Cromwell,
26:55
you don't you remember I was here Thursday night to see her husband about
26:57
his brother kenn and Brooks. And this is John J. Malone. How
27:03
do you do? How do you do? Your husband? Then? Well?
27:06
Sleep? Would you mind waking him? I wouldn't like to, Lieutenant,
27:08
you know gave you'll survive? Of course, that's no guarantee for how
27:12
long? Where is he in there? No? I won't let you disturb
27:15
it. No, cut that out, Hey, get her off of me,
27:18
Malone, James, Well, the commotions, Well, mister Malone,
27:26
and I wanted to talk to you. Yes, sind what's the matter,
27:30
counselor. This is mister Kenneth Harrison. What well, that's the name he
27:33
used at my office. You're out of your mind. You know a Laura
27:36
Riker? No, he doesn't mean handle it. Yeah, I know a
27:40
Laura Rikers. Did you kill her husband? No? No, I didn't
27:44
kill him. What about a boy named Kokie Michaels. What about him?
27:48
He was murdered an hour ago. Let us being all night, I can
27:52
prove him. Oh, you can't missus. Cromwell. The elevator boy says,
27:55
your husband stepped out around eleven. It's only for a patent for a
27:57
packete cigarette. I was back in five minutes. You better come along with
28:02
me, Dave. I won't let you take him away. I won't let
28:06
them do it. I killed him, Lieutenant. What I killed mister Riker?
28:08
Michael? If I got cock Robin. Come on, Cromwell, you
28:12
got to believe me, I said, she ain't kidding. That's the matter
28:18
with you, Cromwell. Didn't you know you should have? He did it
28:21
for you? Say alone, why did missus Cromwell kill Riker and Michael?
28:41
You're amazing weft? Why did she five seconds with a woman? Should have
28:45
told you the reason? She was crazy about her husband, so she commits
28:48
two murders. Sure, both Riker and Michaels were a threat to the man
28:52
she loved. She had no more compunction about knocking them off than you would
28:56
have about squashing a mosquito. That was fighting your kids. I ain't got
29:00
kids. Not my fault. I don't tell me. She beat up Michael's
29:03
too, Oh, that was her husband's work. But after days got through
29:06
with him, she followed Michael's home and let him have it. And all
29:08
along she knew about Dave and missus Riker. Yep, and she never complained.
29:12
The kind of woman never does what a gal I just fought her simple
29:17
the elevator boy could cover up a day's alibi. Why couldn't she all right,
29:21
mister bones? Why couldn't she elementary? She wasn't there, And if
29:25
she wasn't, she was the only one left in the case who had a
29:26
motive and opportunity. I still don't see why it couldn't have been Laura Riker,
29:30
because both Riker and Michaels were killed with the same gun, and since
29:33
Laura didn't kill her. Husband said, though, what about that sodium amicoll
29:37
we got into her? Oh yeah, you know, I forgot about that,
29:41
Malone. Ain't that truth there on a marvelous gimmicks. Certainly, I'm
29:45
glad you thought of it. We ought to use it more often so than
29:48
my dead buddy. That's the sort of things that could put us all out
29:51
of business. Night, Lieutenant. Every of the story of the Semith's soul
30:08
would never took a chance in his life to anybody himself a gun. He'll
30:11
be surprised if the difference was made in no time at all. He was
30:15
ready to shoot the work. I'll tell you all about it next week,
30:18
So why not take me up in my office at the same time. I'll
30:21
be waiting for you. Good night. Jean Raymond will start as John J.
30:26
Malone, with Henry Morgan as Lieutenant Brooks. Our program is written by
30:30
Gene Wang and directed by William P. T Russol. Music by battle Ablum,
30:37
The Amazing Mister Malone is based on a character created by Craig Rice and
30:40
produced by bernardil Schubert. The events and characters depicted in this story were entirely
30:45
fictional, and any resemblance to actual places of people living or dead is entirely
30:49
coincidental. And now this is Dick two felt inviting you to Linton next week.
30:53
The Amazing Mister Malone has come to you from Hollywood. This is the
31:00
American Broadcasting Company, Welcome back. I have mixed feelings on this episode.
31:08
Obviously, even while he was working and staring in Dragging at Jack Web kind
31:17
of had a arrangement with ABC to come over and play characters who were heels
31:25
as illustrating this week's episodepisode actually the last two weeks episodes of The Amazing Mister
31:30
Malone. This episode has so much significant radio talent in it. You had
31:40
William Conrad, Jack Webb in Virginia Gregg here. You also had Harry Morgan
31:48
as the policeman. And I like Harry Morgan in this role, and he
31:56
wasn't intending to get too many of the starring roles at this point in his
32:00
career, but he does a great job here. My only thing is,
32:04
when you have this much talent on the acting side, you really wish there
32:10
was a better script. I actually would have enjoyed this script more with a
32:15
lesser group of actors, because it seems like, wow, you know,
32:22
that was the thing with radio. So many of these people, you know,
32:24
they did thousands of radio performances in order to you know, Mike ends
32:31
me, and not all of them were classics. But to have have all
32:37
you know, that many actors in there and get something like, well she
32:40
confess, so therefore she did it, I don't know, but to each
32:47
their own. But very good performance by Harry Morgan. All right, Well,
32:54
a listener comments and feedback. We have this from Heather who rots in
33:05
I really love this app in the shows and would like to find a similar
33:08
one for the suspense horror OTR genre. Do you happen to know of one
33:14
you would recommend right now? Subscribe to dozens of individual podcasts and would like
33:19
them all in one place. Well, thanks so much for the question,
33:22
Heather. I cannot help you much. I am not at all into the
33:27
horror genre, and in terms of suspense, you know, generally it's like
33:34
if we're getting the mood I'll grab an episode of the Whistle. What I
33:38
might recommend is, you know, and if listeners have something for those genres
33:43
they would recommend, feel free to email me. But what I might recommend
33:47
is the site Escape dash Suspense dot com, which has a lot of episodes
33:55
of escaping suspense available with details on the shows at Yeah, I don't have
34:05
a podcast recommendation, you might try our Facebook page and certainly if our listeners
34:09
have one that you'd recommended in that genre, share it with me and I'll
34:15
certainly be sure to pass it on to her. All Right, Well,
34:19
that will actually do it for today. We'll be back tomorrow as we continue
34:24
on with yours truly, Johnny Dollar, and then join us back here Tuesday
34:28
