The "Great Creator" from the Golden Age of Radio (William N. Robson) produced many adventures on the high seas while he was the producer of Escape. Here he brings us one from the annual "Trans Pacific Yacht Race" featuring long time friend Everett Sloane. We'll also hear Suspense regular Cathy Lewis, plus character actor Larry Dobkin. The sound quality is only fair, but still it's the best available.
• Airdate: July 5, 1959 . . . Episode № 809 •
✓✓√√✓✓√√✓✓√√✓✓√ STUFF-N-SUCH:
Really trivial trivia: The character of Mr. Burns on TV's "The Simpsons" is based on Everett Sloane's character from "Citizen Kane." BTW: The cover-art is an actual photo of the yacht race from the 50's.
One more thing - Notice the running time of this episode . . . less than 19 minutes. Since the early 1950's Suspense had no regular sponsor, so they had to sell advertising time to many different entities . . . Which resulted in lots of commercial breaks! (which were edited out of this particular recording)
