The Sunday Story: Goodnight, Mrs. Russell


old time radio, otr, bette davis radio, bette davis, radio shows, suspense!

For today's listening pleasure, I'm sharing the story "Good Night, Mrs. Russell," presented by Suspense in 1949 and starring the incomparable Bette Davis.  This story stuck with me since the moment I first heard it, and I hope you'll enjoy the fine acting in one of Bette Davis' few Suspense appearances.

The Sunday Story: Wet Saturday, by Suspense



I'm starting a little series on Sundays where I can share with you my favorite radio plays and serials.  There are so many available online, and there's such a variety of genres.  I hope you'll enjoy the ones I post here; they're perfect for relaxing on any lazy Sunday.

The first story I'd like to share is from Suspense, entitled "Wet Saturday."  It's from a John Collier story and was dramatized several times by Supsense.  This, however, is my favorite iteration, taken from 1943 and starring Charles Laughton.  This story is not your typical radio drama, with its cast of sarcastic characters and plot twists that follow no prescribed pattern.  It's an episode that rewards repeat listens.

Sit back and enjoy, then let me know what you think in the comments.
