In the late 80s in San Jose, CA, I used to listen to rebroadcasts of old radio mysteries on Sat. nights as an early teen. I fell in love with them. In the 90s I bought some on cassette, but they are long gone. Over the years I tried to find them again on the radio. When I finally found them on yt I was so excited! I listen to them while trying to sleep. They are such a treat. Thank you!
same when i was young with a 9pm bedtime, I used to listen on a radio station ran by donations. One night they announced they were not able to keep it going and it was their last night. I was so sad, but we hit gold today thankfully :D
thanks so much for the entertainment, i have enjoyed the shows, the reader is excellent. this site has saved my sanity.eye surgery, terrible accident crushed body. this is god sent. I GREW UP LISTENING TO THE RADIO, THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS T,V,. MAY GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE FOR PROVIDING IT.
Thank you for listening! I’m glad you’re doing ok. These provide a fun trip to the past! If you’d like to hear this entire series (plus more) in podcast form check out otrpodcasts.com!
I tried and tried listening to these classic radio stories in my car I couldn’t keep focused and thought I didn’t like listening. One night I couldn’t sleep so I tried once again.without the distraction of driving! Now I’m addicted and can’t stop listening ! Now I know why my mom loved them before TV
This episode reminds me of the book by Jim Thompson "The Killer Inside Me". Apparently films have been made of it, but I have not seen them. Anyway, that and other books by Thompson are rather scary but good reads.
This is a nice adaptation of Dorothy Hughes' novel. It misses some details, but those who have viewed the film and want to know how it compares to the book could do worse than listening to this. I think a "straight" film of the book would find an audience. It could never substitute for the awesome Nicholas Ray film of course, but it would be very different.
Oh my god this is awesome. Just finished the books and it is absolutely perfect. The most perfect book I have ever read and noir is my favourite genre. I watched the movie first but the book is vastly superior in every respect despite the movie being quite good as well. Just not perfect like that book, wow. I got into LA noir by reading Mike Davis’ City of Quartz years ago and it really is amazing stuff, even the more normal stuff Chandler wrote
@@michaelromandel9022 While I cannot agree that the book is better than the film (it is one of my favourite films of all time), it is truly a masterpiece in its own right. Such a subtle writer. Hughes lets Dix's perspective dominate throughout so we only gradually come to realise all that is happening. The final pages are so brilliant. Dorothy Hughes quit writing to take care of her family, a great artist lost to convention. By the way, I knew the book was very different from the film and avoided reading it because of that. I was expecting a much more conventional crime story, but it is not that at all. I changed my mind after I read Ride the Pink Horse, which is another very unsettling work. I will say it is not at the same level as In a Lonely Place, but you will recognise Hughes' vision.
@@DANIELMABUSE I really liked the movie and actually watched it just a few monthe ago when I first got a Criterion subscription. It was the first movie I watched on there. I found the book in a box on the street about a month ago. The movie was perfect too but I am partial to the book because I find the examination of Dix’s mind far more insightful and subversive
I actually want to make a version of In a Lonely Place that is true to the original book and very dreamy and paranoid from the Dix Steele perspective like the book and with an unaltered Laurel Grey.
He departed after the April 3rd episode {"Suspicion"}- and the hour-long edition of the series ended on May 15, 1948 ("THE LIFE OF RILEY" and "TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES"- on NBC- were too popular with audiences for "SUSPENSE" to compete against).

This is absolutely one of the best episodes.
He knocked it out of the park.

One of my favourite episodes!
9/10

This is a great episode! I enjoy all of them but this is one of the best.
The live recordings have such a ''right now from the next room'' feeling in-spite been recorded 70 years ago.

Hope you are doing well.
I am glad for you
Early "American Psycho"; fabulous.
One of my favorites. The book version.
Love me some Suspense. Especially during a "pandemic"!
I heartily concur ! Thank heavens thousands of programs from Radio's Golden Age are available here at YT for no charge ! :-)
As heard on March 6, 1948.
The beginnings of forensic science 👍
The best
Really very good!

Love all his books! You're right. Very similar.
I enjoy these radio stories so much... Better thank TV movies
This is quite a treat. Thank you.
My pleasure! Thanks for listening.
Wow, this is an amazing piece, sadly anticipating the real life horrors enacted by the serial killers of the latter half of the 20th century.

Is it paranormal on any way?
@@redpimpletonthesimpleton8812 No. Its pretty much the same story as the radio play here. This is a very good adaptation.

Do you have Thai subtitles?
Dick Steele. Ha.
Not a Robert Montgomery fan.
Good to know.
