If you like the Old Time Radio shows, this is a must have. I have several in the series of radio shows but this is by far the best one.

This is a terrific collection of shows from one of the greatest radio shows ever produced. Those of us who love and collect old time radio can't get enough of "Suspense" to add to our booty and this happens to be a fine sampling of this wonderful show.

The catch-phrase "Roma wine presents" or "Autolite presents" are recognizable to anyone who loves the imagination. Radio ruled for decades and Suspense was for good reason one of the most popular shows on the airwaves. Suspense was the cream of the crop, well written stories given a glossy and realistic production that week after week kept listeners glued to their chairs. For myself and others it is a nostalgic and entertaining way to remember the past.

Many stars are on this collection and many great shows. Night Cry is a terrific story of a cop gone wrong and The Screaming Woman is unforgettable entertainment, a frantic search to save a life before it's too late. Also included is the radio version of Sorry Wrong Number, which is even more suspenseful than the Barbara Stanwyck film. It is an edge of your seat nail biter.

Perhaps my favorite on this collection is Summer Night. It is moody and moving and epitomizes everything that was good about Suspense. It is tightly written and well performed. Ida Lupino, Ray Milland, Margaret O'Brien, Judy Garland and a host of others star in these quality productions that will have you using your imagination and sitting on the edge of your seat.

This is a fine investment for the hours of entertainment you'll get. It will make you a fan of old time radio and have you searching for more. This is a good place to start your journey into---Suspense!
