Robert Young stars in a new performance of this Cornell Woolrich story. It was originally presented with Joseph Cotten two years earlier. Details behind that September 1944 broadcast are at https://suspenseproject.blogspot.com/2023/04/1944-09-14-youll-never-see-me-again.html and the recordings are at https://archive.org/details/TSP440914.
Newlywed Ed Bliss (the name may be an amusing joke about marriage) and his wife had an argument, and she storms out of the house. He figures she’d cool off and return after she stays at her mother’s home… but she’s not there. Bliss starts looking for her… and the story is not what it seems. Why? Because it’s a Woolrich story on Suspense, that’s why.
Young gives a fine performance though his does not convey sinister undertones in the way that Cotten’s voicing often does.
One network recording has survived and it has a 41 second pause to the network ID (“41s”).
