If you’re not familiar with the story and the history of this, Dickens last but unfinished novel, more details are at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
The Suspense television series presentation is not mentioned, but the radio one is. The TV presentation starred John Baragrey, and it had very little press coverage at the time of its broadcast.

The AFRS version was posted almost four years ago, and it had a different name! It may not have been intended, but the residue of some AFRS production editing.

This image shows where the AFRS title came from...
Newspaper clippings were posted previously; the following are new...
We know Lewis had quite a sense of humor, especially heard in his portrayal of Remley on The Phil Harris & Alice Faye Show. And, we know that Spier ran loose rehearsals because he could count on the ensemble cast to get the performance right at dress rehearsal and the broadcasts. Knowing that tradition, and that Lewis was mentored in the Spier years, with the participation of radio's legendary straight man of comedy as the star of the week, what else could be expected for the rehearsals of this episode? The CBS PR folks were likely made aware they should be on hand for the first rehearsal.
Lewis was extraordinarily creative and talented, and pushed the bounds of Suspense. He implemented the theme of dramas with historical connections to differentiate the series from others, and from growing television competition. Sometimes, the shows would just fall flat. That's the risk anyone takes with experimentation and changing a show's formula. Seeing this little comment in this newspaper clip is a reminder that listeners of this period of the series may have felt the same way.

This broadcast was the last from NY until the series moved back there around Fall 1959. There were Summer episodes in 1947 when Duff was in NYC for filming of Naked City which required the move of Spade program with him. Spier went with him for a variety of reasons at that time. One thing is certain -- traveling in 1953 across country was easier than just 6 years before because of improved air service, and Auto-Lite probably picked up all the costs.

Re: Suspense Upgrades
The episode is based on the 1899 story about how President McKinley needed to get a message to General Calixto Garcia, a leader of the Cuban insurgents prior to the Spanish-American War.

Widmark recieves the "Golden Mike" award for 1952's How Long is the Night. You may wonder... what is a "golden mike"? It was just for Suspense guest stars, and done to promote the series by CBS.

Re: Suspense Upgrades
This is a re-used Escape script. Billboard reported 40 stations between Washington DC to Michigan had problems with the network feed at the end of the program. CBS offered to send mimeographed summaries to listeners who requested it. Radio critic Magee Adams, writing in the October 19, 1953 Cincinnati Enquirer thought that was a great idea.

Re: Suspense Upgrades
Wilcox flubs Jeff Chandler's name at the opening, calling him "Jeff Alexander." Alexander was a music director at CBS for Hollywood Star Playhouse and other shows, including Amos 'n' Andy. His choir also supplied backup vocals, with full credit, for many Mario Lanza and Frank Sinatra performances and recordings of that time. Wilcox had been announcing the AnA show for years, so Alexander was a very familiar fellow performer. Wilcox said his name most every week there and possibly other programs, and Wilcox just slipped! It's very hard to find recordings of Wilcox flubs... he was one of radio's most dependable announcing pros.
The story is based on the ballad "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair", and was the original working title of the script, and the title released to the press.

O'Brien seems to be underacting at the beginning of the play, and it seems confusing, but he's saving it all up for the horrors at the end.

The original title was "Needle in a Haystack." The Suspense TV adaptation was broadcast the next day, starring Lee Marvin; no kinescope of the broadcast seems to have survived.

Re: Suspense Upgrades
This was last updated this past summer. A great full-sounding copy of this episode still eludes us, as does and AFRS version, but this is better.

This episode has not been upgraded for about 8 years. No AFRS version has appeared.
The script is based on Edgar Allan Poe's story, considered the first mystery based on a real event. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
