I don't know what it is about these old shows, but they really help me get my mind off the more difficult parts of life.

[@VoicesOnCall]

A good story helps get your mind off day today things

[@David-yw2lv]

They're better than at least 90% of the swill currently on the air

[@valerie8223]

You are so right!

[@lt7378]

Agree. I just don’t like the opening dramatic music. Why?

[@David-yw2lv]

@@lt7378 Your opinion and mine are 180° apart.The theme music and opening sequence are among the best to me.

[@eckankar7756]

Great seeing Larry Blyden and Jean Hale. Ethel merman was a hoot. John Hoyt always playing the same character but he's a classic

[@VoicesOnCall]

Larry Blyden seems to show up in many different series where you would not expect him

[@scvandy3129]

"eckankar7756," The fetching, young brunette, Joan Blackman, has her league of admirers too and doesn't disappoint here. Second billed, she and fellow guest star Larry Blyden 'deliver' a cute tag, 49:19 - 49:33. Just a few months after 'Twixt the Cup' (June 3, 1965) she heated up '60s series sensation, ABC's "Peyton Place," for 16 episodes -- already blessed with its bevy of beauties, Barbara Parkins, Dorothy Malone, Mia Farrow. Vital to two key story arcs Blackman played Peyton Place's d.a.'s (John Kerr) lovely wife who has her eyes and her loins set on David Canary's Doctors Hospital physical therapist character. The feeling was mutual.

[@prettyrebel3001]

This is one of my favorite series to watch. Don't even tune in to any of the new stuff out these days

[@VoicesOnCall]

You have the same thoughts as many other people. It's too bad that television today is generally produced at such a low level and it is rare to have such a quality series for us to enjoy

[@itsgleneaton4883]

That was a really good show. The lead actor kept me entertained he’s always excellent.

[@VoicesOnCall]

Agreed. Great episode from a great series

[@jdr1747]

I love these movies! This one was so much fun.

[@VoicesOnCall]

Yes. This is a good episode. Thanks for watching. Check out the other episodes in the playlist, some of them are really good

[@sandraelder1101]

At first I thought it was a flute. I was trying to imagine who the famous player must’ve been. 😂

[@PowerPlusNature]

My eyes are bad. A few minutes in, and i thought it was some of the cast of Bewitched.

[@VoicesOnCall]

Some of the actors look similar

[@PowerPlusNature]

@@VoicesOnCall , I love these movies. I don't watch much as far as entertainment goes, but these really reel me in. Thank you.

[@Laura-tp8wz]

Some of the quality of the film appears a bit “wavy”.😊

[@SuziQ.]

It’s a bit blurry.

[@annhinson5670]

Very cute! The cast was great! What a treat to see Ethel Merman in this!

[@VoicesOnCall]

Well Ethel Merman is known for her iconic singing and a number of well-known movie roles, we have to remember that she did from time to time appear in different episodes of various television series

[@sandraelder1101]

The opening animation used to freak me out as a kid. 👍🏼

[@VoicesOnCall]

That opening title sequence is classic. It seemed to register with a lot of viewers

[@SallySallySallySally]

@@VoicesOnCall John Williams' classic opening/closing theme played a large role in its captivating nature. I sure miss anthology series.

Like Perry Mason theme song🤣

[@jubalcalif9100]

That was fun to watch ! THANKS so much for uploading for us to enjoy ! I had no idea this episode exitsted until reading about it in recently in a biography of Ethel Merman. Very good script & a cast of solid professionals !

[@VoicesOnCall]

You are right. This was a good group of actors backed by a well written script. An enjoyable Suspense episode to watch

[@jubalcalif9100]

@@VoicesOnCall I heartily concur !!

[@stevehammett2008]

Existsted? That must be what happens when autocorrect exits prematurely...

[@garrysekelli6776]

42:21 seems like a classic "no honor amongst thieves drama".

[@allenmurray7893]

Very good story. Lane Bradford usually plays the bad guy. Good to see him be the good guy for a change.

[@Nefarioso]

Pink Pantheresque music.

[@VoicesOnCall]

It is a classic intro theme score

[@djsi38t]

Love Ethel Merman....Just love her to pieces!!!...She has that wonderfully annoying voice and she always plays a wonderfully annoying woman!!...She is just an Icon I tell ya...a bona fide Hollywood Icon!...and the 1960's would not have been the same without her.The world lost a real hollywood legend when this dear lady past.Here's to you Ethel...May your loud brash voice echo over America forever!!..

[@VoicesOnCall]

You are right on. She was an icon who's physical and on-screen presence was known even before you heard her signature voice. Great actress

[@susancurson4488]

That was fun.

[@VoicesOnCall]

Thanks for watching. Check out the other episodes in the playlist they are very good as well

Thanks

Ethel Merman something else

[@hyponovalive]

This one was goofy and cute!

[@TJ1920]

Good plot. Hard to find these days

[@VoicesOnCall]

Yes. Agreed. This is a good story line. Wish they would produce more quality stories like this today

[@McIntyreBible]

5:09, Stacy tries to sneak up the stairs.

[@alycew.787]

The theme song reminds me of Barnaby Jones for some reason.

[@VoicesOnCall]

It is an iconic theme song. Well Barnaby Jones is an easily recognizable theme song as well, it's not quite as well-known as the one here in suspense theater

[@trilbywilby7826]

I don't know if it's just my laptop, but this video was so blurry that I couldn't get past the first 5 minutes. I watched the one with Jack Lord recently and it was crisp and clear so maybe the distortion is not on my end? Sorry!

[@Jolar70]

It's 2024 but says, "1 year ago", at 360p. Thanks Russian Korea!

[@garrysekelli6776]

Was the Kraft part of the story because the Kraft cheese company sponsored them?

[@user-il5oq5df6l]

During its prime time run on NBC, the series was sponsored by Kraft Foods and called "Kraft Suspense Theatre". After the series went into syndicated reruns, it was renamed "Crisis " and "Suspense Theatre".

[@JohnCasciello]

[@ravenpoe7093]

@@user-il5oq5df6lwas this something well known actors wanted to be in or were they contracted to have to do one of these. Columbo often had well known actors star in them but i figured it was a hook to get viewers. But idk this being sponsored by major brand i wondered if it was a hook, something they seeked to be in or a contract gig

[@David-yw2lv]

Larry Blyden was from Texas,like me

A fellow texan. Great

[@kathyflorcruz552]

Music composer: Johnny Williams. 😅

[@VoicesOnCall]

This was early in his career, yet certainly not the first thing that he scored. It's amazing how many shows and movies John Williams has been responsible for the music

[@scvandy3129]

"kathyflorcruz552," Yes, the main and end title theme. But not the background score for the episode itself. Those wonderful sounds throughout were provided by the WONDERFUL genius of jazz, Pete Rugolo.

[@QuadMochaMatti]

@@scvandy3129 Rugolo is definitely a legend. I think Johnny Boy was too much of a square.

[@sallytedesco2192]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jopowers5006]

This series is not what I expected. Suspense? No.

[@hyponovalive]

Try another. This goofy one was a fluke

[@QuadMochaMatti]

It ends in a manner different than what one would have initially thought, so therefore, THERE IS in fact suspense as to how the caper goes down.
