I heartily concur ! I fell in love with programs from the Golden Age of Radio back in the 80s when a local radio station broadcast a wide variety of shows for years. Thank heavens for the thousands of old radio shows we can listen to for free here at RUclips and at other websites.
There was a rare kind of patrician magic in Gene Tierney's voice. High class in the best sense of the term -- nothing haughty, stuffy, condescending in her tone, but miraculously devoid of even the faintest hint of vulgarity. I've always felt she never received quite the amount of adulation her screen presence deserved. Davis, Hepburn, Stanwyck, Colbert, Crawford, Young -- all uniquely marvelous and indispenable to Hollywood's History, but more than any of them Gene Tierney was truly a LADY. The role of ellen seems completely alien to Tierney's personality, but maybe that's why the sheer HORROR of Ellen's true nature seems all the more shocking once it becomes nakedly apparent as the story unfolds.
Am I the only sick bastard who thinks about Gene Tierney in the carnal sense? They didn't use terms like this in the good 'ol days, but she was hot, hot, hot! Premier actress, too. She was talented, smart, and drop-dead gorgeous. Today's female actors aren't a patch on her tire.
Yes, I noticed that too right away. Alan Reed was a VERY active radio actor. Though of course he's best known for voicing Fred Flintstone in the classic 1960s animated TV series.
@@jubalcalif9100 Yup!. I remember SEEING him on an episode of Beverly Hillbillies. He was shorter than Buddy Ebsen but he had a strong, distinctive voice.
@@jubalcalif9100 Well, I now know why Fred returned to the Rock Quarry. He was a lousy lawyer. 😉 Russell Quinton was badgering both George and Ruth and "Rovey didn't object OBJECTION!; BADGERING the witness!
Cornell Wilde.... I THINK he was in the movie Harriet Craig , with Joan Crawford. I'll have to check the credits for the movie. I was wrong. The actor in that movie was Wendell Corey. OBJECTION! Mr. Quenton is badgering the witness!
@@francoaragosta4285 I understand how you feel. At the same time, I'm curious as to how she got to the point where she was so obsessive. There was an adoption issue somewhere. In any case, Ellen was CLINGY to a scary degree, til it suffocated even those she claimed to love.

I have adored this movie for years now and this adaptation is very well done!
I love these radio programs. Sit back with a coffee and enjoy.

Thank you for your well-thought-out and passionate comments.
Well said and well put ! Thank you for a refreshingly thoughtful, insightful & perceptive comment.
In all honesty, I think Gene Tiereny should have won Best Actress Oscar for this movie over Joan Crawford. She did a better job.
According to the criminal law, George was not obligated to testify against his wife thus, could not have been an accessory to her murders.
Good point.

The voice of one of the guys who's talking.... in the begining.... he kinda sounds like Alan Reed.
+J Gillian Pedophile Killer That's because it WAS him. At the time, Mr. Reed was a prolific radio actor, and a regular supporting player on LUX.
every night i fall asleep to these great old radio classics...they are so great to listen too
