JUDY GARLAND stars in "Drive-in" SUSPENSE Radio's Best Episodes [remastered]

Judy Garland plays a waitress at a Southern California drive-in restaurant. It's just about closing time, but she has one more customer to wait on . . . and she's gonna wish she never did. The sound quality is excellent, and the customer is played by (actor-producer-director-writer ) Elliott Lewis, who later became known as "Mr. Radio."

Beautiful Judy Garland always gave a flawless performance. This "Suspense" episode "Drive In" was absolutely awesome. Wow, I really enjoyed listening to this. Judy Garland was the best performer ever.

[@stevenward5909]

Absolutely wonderful

[@d.o8616]

I found this absolutely spell-binding. It's not only a time capsule of the old Hollywood era and its legendary players, but given to us in such excellent quality I was transported back. You have done a magnificent job here, and I want to thank you. Kindest regards, David.

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

Thank you! You've discovered the same thing as I when I first heard Suspense fifteen years ago! I'm glad you're enjoying these - Charlie

[@jeremynv89523]

I just stumbled onto this gem. The thing that surprises me the most is just how well acted it was. I cannot think of a time that Judy did a better job. I think that perhaps in all of her other vehicles, her acting talents were overshadowed by other concerns.

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

She did have a few "other concerns." I'm glad you found this - you'll find that just about every major movie star did Suspense!

[@user-sw2gp6fj2t]

Still loving this channel, hope all is well!!

[@budahbaba7856]

Judy Garland was my first Hollywood crush. When my eyes attached to her on screen, and my ears heard her voice i just wanted to be with her. Don't try to be rational beyond that point and make sense of anything! :)

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

For me it was Ginger Rogers!

[@jugghead-1975]

Completely understandable!! Her and Myrna Loy!!!! Wow

[@cmc9775]

Thia is great, in fact this seems like a mixture of suspense and escape in one.

[@cmc9775]

This not Thia

[@j.w.2391]

Wow....can you imagine Judy Garland as a damsel in distress in Film Noir....?An interesting piece of counter casting, an opportunity she never would have received at MGM.

[@j.w.2391]

Interesting tropes from Detour, Money Madness and anticipating The Fast and the Furious (1955)

[@caramelrose819]

Judy was great in this story!

[@sevenwonders3615]

Yes she was classic!

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

So who are the ones that vote thumbs down? What, having the opportunity to hear a 70+ year old recording that sounds crystal clear isn't good enough for you to enjoy? I think at the very least you should at least provide your reasons.

[@FernandaGutz22]

This episode is a gem! I love Judy Garland and SUSPENSE. This was a terrific story! Thank you so much for sharing! Already suscribed! Greetings from Mexico :)

@@FernandaGutz22 Welcome! Thanks for sharing your thoughts - Charlie

@@SuspenseESCAPEremastered Thanks to you! Your channel is AMAZING! 🙏

Good point. Some people are never really happy. About anything.

@Willie Gordon Exactly!

Good one. Thanks 👍

You got it!

Consider this NEW radio comedy, “A Trip to the Moon” which stars Joyce Randolph of The Honeymooners AND there are two other radio play ghost stories AND and a brand new mystery listed on my channel “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT.

@@hudsony777 Thank you, Claude!

[@OofusTwillip]

There's a rehearsal recording of this episode, with some extra lines, and a gentler portrayal of the Man, with more pathos. I really felt sorry for him, and wished he'd met a kinder fate. For some reason, Elliott Lewis used the pseudonym "Raymond Lewis" on this episode, and "Raymond E. Lewis" on the "Philomel Cottage" episode of "Suspense". These seem to be the only times he used this pseudonym. I've not been able to find out why. The War was over, and he was out of the AFRS, so it's not that he had to fly under the radar to do these gigs. In 1941, when Judy played her first grown-up role in "Eternally Yours", on "Silver Theatre", Elliott Lewis played her loving husband. Completely different from the role he plays in "Drive In".

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

I'm not sure about the name, either. I do recall an interview that he once said he never actually enjoyed acting, except with Phil and Alice! The guy was talented, for sure.

[@jeremybear573]

Thank you for the insight into this episode!

[@OofusTwillip]

@@SuspenseESCAPEremastered I've just directed and performed in a recreation of one of the 13 lost "Suspense" episodes, "The Eavesdropper" (1956), with Project Audion. Joe Webb (author of "The Suspense Collector's Companion") recently found the script, and suggested that we perform it, because we'd be the first since 1956 (no pressure...). It premieres on Project Audion's KZbin channel, tomorrow night at 9:00 EDT. We did it via Zoom, because we're scattered throughout North America. Though it was recorded with our cameras on, listen with your eyes closed, for maximum impact. Especially in the climactic scene. It's a doozy. 😉

[@candleshoemanor]

Holy cow, thanks so much for curating this amazing collection! I discovered your channel when looking for "Sorry, Wrong Number," which my junior high English teacher played for us on LP "back in the day." I am wondering if you might be able to recommend some episodes that deal with ghostly encounters, seances, or haunted houses? Appreciate your thoughts, and thank you again for this wonderful channel!

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

Welcome! I still listen to these shows every night! Scroll through my playlists where you'll find the sci-fi and horror episodes. Both Escape and Suspense did many horror episodes, like "The fall of the house of Usher," and "The suicide club." My favorite is "Papa Benjamin."

[@candleshoemanor]

@@SuspenseESCAPEremastered Thank you!

[@freeradiomars]

I miss this channel. I hope you are all doing well.

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

Doing okay - some day I will upload again! Thanks for stopping by!

[@konejo5386]

I annoyed all this stories when through all of them 3 times already while working on my cars. Which you would put more up. Thank you

[@OofusTwillip]

I'm not sure who plays the cop, but Joseph Kearns is both the Voice of Suspense and the movie producer who drives up with his wife (played by Cathy Lewis) when the Man is kissing the Waitress.

[@jeffreyberkin-ez3uh]

Sometimes it's funny when these actors play more than one role. Cathy Lewis also was Ruth. I almost wished that Judy would cry out and say "Hey Ruth, here I am"😅 I wish that they had given "The Man" his props: his name was Elliott, not Raymond 😢 Anyway, love Judy. What a fragile angel she was ❤

[@jeremybear573]

Good day Charlie! Hope all is well!

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

Hey! How ya doing? I just put together my night time playlist of Episodes! Good to hear from you! Goodnight

What happened to you guys? Miss your uploads

[@drlobomalo]

Does anyone remember the one about the innocent guy running from the cops who sweet talks a girl running a concession stand in a hotel lobby into hiding him out? That's all I can remember.

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

MAYBE you're thinking about "4 hours to kill" with Robert Taylor. It's on my channel or youtube search the title with the actor. Good luck!

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

I wonder if youtube will let me post my thoughts or censor them? Let's talk about Hunter Biden's laptop . . . or if covid began in a Wuhan lab . . . or my heart problems that began RIGHT AFTER my 2nd covid shot? - The great thing about my thoughts is I don't have to share them unless I want to. I've got many more THOUGHTS . . .They are MINE and the youtube police can't touch them!
