***********

Suspense, "radio's outstanding theater of thrills", was one of the premiere programs of the Golden Age of Radio, featuring a who's who of Hollywood stars spread out over its 900+ episodes. Scripts focused on suspense/thriller/mystery plots, typically involving a normal person being thrown into a bizarre or dangerous situation, with the solution withheld until the last moment--often with a surprising twist.

Guest stars included Cary Grant, Orson Welles, Frank Sinatra, Agnes Moorehead, Humphrey Bogart, Lucille Ball and Marlene Dietrich. The show ran from 1942 to 1962.

Its haunting theme music was written by Academy Award winner Bernard Herrmann, who scored many of Hollywood's most memorable movies, including Psycho, The Birds, Vertigo, Cape Fear, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Citizen Kane and The Man Who Knew Too Much.
