Thank you for uploading this! The acting is better than in any movie at theaters in the last 20 years and the suspense was killer in every episode! I wish the complete series would be released on DVD. Such high quality writing should not be lost. How could it possibly have such few views?

[@VoicesOnCall]

It would be great if the television series of today had such quality acting, scripts, direction, and story lines

[@johnnymatheis1018]

Wow. This is one of their best stories yet.

[@VoicesOnCall]

Yes, this is a good example of a good storyline, script, acting, and directing. Suspense Theater was a good series

[@sk8joey1]

Great episode,Jack Lord was a great actor.

[@VoicesOnCall]

Agreed. A classic Suspense Theater episode with a great performance from a skilled actor

[@natashabates4736]

A classic western, but set in the early 1960's during the Vietnam War. 💰

[@hellokitty777able]

So many good actors.

[@VoicesOnCall]

Yes. The series featured many actors young in their career. Those actors would go on to have lengthy careers in television and movies

[@amandawatts7994]

Oh really good!! All of them - Great actors! Good story. Loved the ending!

[@VoicesOnCall]

You are right. Good acting and a good story. Put both of those together with good direction and you end up with an enjoyable show to watch that doesn't insult your intelligence

[@kimbattles2399]

Jack Lord, Wow. AWESOME

[@VoicesOnCall]

It's good to see him show up in episodes of different series from time to time

[@SallySallySallySally]

Thanks for posting these! I love that Johnny Williams score! Jack Lord ("Paul") was 44 here. This was made a year after his "Stoney Burke" role and three years before he became "Steve McGarrett" in "Hawaii Five-O." Ten years after that, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and died in 1998 at 77 years of age. Andrew Prine ("Chris") was 28 here. He was a prolific award-winning actor in hundreds of stage, movie and television productions over his six-decade career including two episodes of "Hawaii Five-O." He played recurring characters in "Weird Science," "Wide Country" and "The Road West." He died in 2022 at 87 years of age. Broderick Crawford ("Pop") was 53 here. This was five years after his role as "Dan Matthews" in the syndicated TV series "Highway Patrol." He won an Oscar for his role as "Willie Stark" in the 1949 movie "All the King's Men." He was working right up to his death in 1986 at the age of 74. Lisabeth Hush ("Dorothy") was 30 here. She appeared in a few dozen productions, mostly in the 60's and 70's. She married actor Sam Gilman, 19 years her senior, the year before this episode was made. She died in 2021 at the age of 86.

[@VoicesOnCall]

Thanks for watching and pointing out the Johnny Williams musical score. This was still back when he was early in his career before he dropped the Johnny and became John

[@mortalclown3812]

Rest in paradise, Andy Prine

[@garrysekelli6776]

And Broderick Crawford. One of the few great Californians. Before they became All woke and ga y and s hit.

[@kathyflorcruz552]

Prine skated on a murder charge in a suspicious case of a young woman found dead..they couldn't pin in on him but it killed his career nevertheless.

[@user-pt4nb3gt3b]

@mortal clown 3812== read your comment of the PASSING AWAY of ANDREW PRINE and many viewers are NOT AWARE that ANDREW PRINE had HIS OWN TV series called the """FAR COUNTRY""" also featuring EARL HOLLIMAN back in the MID 1960s about RANCH WORKERS!!! Thanks for your comment****

[@grimlyfiendish5579]

I met him a few years before he died. He was a cool guy that's for sure. He's in a bunch of great 70s and 80s movies.

[@grimlyfiendish5579]

Prine didn't "skate" on a murder rap. He hadn't even seen the girl that day. Read up on it. Two other men were at her apartment until 3am while she was in her usual drugged out haze. She stalked Prine and made up a ton of bullcrap. Her own father said it wasn't Prine it was someone the dad knew. He said that in his memoir. She sounds like a real piece of work.

[@gemmaremington-hw8hd]

Superb acting from all concerned. I really enjoyed this . Thank you for uploading this.

[@VoicesOnCall]

Glad you enjoyed this episode. Thanks for watching. Be sure to check out the other episodes on the playlist as the suspense theater consistently produced great shows

[@michaelparbatule]

broderick crawford wow

[@lesnyk255]

This is so much better now that YT has implemented their new policy of ad-blocker immune commercials every 5 minutes. Bravo, KZbin.

[@VoicesOnCall]

Good to know you enjoyed this Suspense episode. It is one of their best

[@lesnyk255]

@@VoicesOnCall or was before it was chopped up into little bits

[@garyc39]

You have to turn off add block and than turn it back on every time you get on youtube to avoid the adds.

[@aob4214]

In order to employ the ad block you literally have to go onto the website not the app you cannot activate ad blocker through the app only through the website KZbin unless and you’ve got to keep on reapplying each time you go to a different channel different thread different video. Very annoying.

Enjoyed that thank you 😊

Originally telecast on May 6, 1965. 0:29- ED HERLIHY: *"KRAFT......SUSPENSE......THEATRE'!* Starring JACK LORD.........ANDREW PRINE........with Guest Star BRODERICK CRAWFORD... .in- 'The Long Ravine'! Brought to you by KRAFT! *KRAFT......* for good food- and good food ideas."

[@VoicesOnCall]

The 1960s had some good TV series going at the time

[@fromthesidelines]

True- but the anthology format was dying a slow death. After "SUSPENSE THEATRE" was cancelled in 1965, only one remained on network television- "BOB HOPE PRESENTS THE CHRYSLER THEATRE" {"UNIVERSAL STAR TIME"}.

[@VoicesOnCall]

@@fromthesidelines Yes. This was a format that was on its way out. A loss for all TV viewers

[@pattimaeda6097]

This was three years before Hawaii 5-0 on which Andrew Prine twice guest-starred

[@VoicesOnCall]

Hawaii Five-O was another popular series back then which they tried to remake more recently with very mixed results

[@matthewbulger6883]

Will Kraft Suspense Theater ever be remastered and restored under Its original title as well as the voice of Ed Herlihy? I await your answer. Will It also the NBC TV color bumper?

[@VoicesOnCall]

Great idea. This would be a good choice for a classic TV series to be remastered and released. A new generation of viewers could enjoy the series

[@thomasnorman4221]

Bookem Deno

[@drmichaelshea]

Sometimes I think if it weren’t for bars, beds, drugs, and beers, about 90% of unsolved disappearances would never have happened.

[@McIntyreBible]

Jack Lord doesn't fit in this episode, but he does in his role as a lawyer in the episode "The Crime."

[@kathyflorcruz552]

Oh...I do not like seeing Broderick Crawford in a dirty ol man role. No way. But this turned out great. Jack Lord fit well in this role.

[@VoicesOnCall]

You are right. Jack Lord was a good choice for this character

[@grimlyfiendish5579]

Crawford is perfect as a dirty old man lol.

[@hellokitty777able]

​@@grimlyfiendish5579he really is. 😂

[@splattered63]

When writers and actors has talent and ideas. What do they push out today that's just a copy or another version of something that's been created before by someone else.

[@VoicesOnCall]

You are right. It seems like so much of today's current programming is just duplicating the ideas from past shows and movies. The only difference is that the script and acting today is not nearly as good as some of the classic work done in years past

[@user-pt4nb3gt3b]

@splattered 63=== read your comment of KRAFT SUSPENCE THEATRES actors & writers being the BEST and many viewers DO NOT REALIZE those ARTIST had and were LIVING & BROUGHT UP TRU THOSE YEARS on THIER FARMS***MILITARY TRAINING***BUILDING HIGHWAYS & STUCTURES*** so that thier mannerisms SHOWED TRU these dramas!!!!!
