CBS Radio Mystery Theater "The Coffin With the Golden Nails" starring Howard da Silva

The chief of police for a military dictatorship has abused his power and his people. When his government is about to be overthrown, a man approaches him, claiming that he can be transformed into another person and live out his life in peaceful anonymity.

I first began listening to this show in 1980, when I was 14. I listened secretly each night with my beautiful SONY box radio for almost two years until the show ended. The show began in 1974 and ended in 1982. I just love these shows. They’re so mesmerizing…

Never heard of these programs when they were first released. Now I hear them for the first time. Simply sublime. Intelligent. A pleasure to enjoy in the afternoon or later in the evening. Thank you so much for these programs.

I know not every story will appeal to all and I have a few that I didn’t prefer, but by and large I think these have real appeal. I hope you will try again, and we have a very nice group who do enjoy the shows - and finding out how others are doing all over the world. It’s a very nice people-connected group, “tribe” for the most part. And that’s not always easy to come across. For many older folks I think they feel they have a bit of connection to the real world they may not have otherwise. Some really good stories with really good voice actors, and some nice welcoming banter, if you wish. Some people who are like-minded even engage in a bit of friendship with some who are very like-minded. What’s not to like ? You aren’t required to do anything but listen to the stories you like, whenever you like. Whatever you decide, I wish you peace and sweet dreams and good restful sleep, just as we all do for each other! These stories and comments to all were especially welcoming to me during Covid. They made a very big difference t me. 🇨🇦 🙏❤ ☺
