Episode 463 - Stars of "Foreign Correspondent"

We kick off a series saluting Alfred Hitchcock, the master of suspense, and some of his classic films recreated for radio. First up is his wartime espionage drama Foreign Correspondent. We'll hear two of the film's stars in Suspesnse stories: Herbert Marshall in "The Beast Must Die" (originally aired on CBS on July 13, 1944) and Edmund Gwenn in "Murder in Black and White" (originally aired on CBS on April 14, 1949). Joseph Cotten steps in for the film's star Joel McCrea as the movie is adapted on Academy Award (originally aired on CBS on July 24, 1946), and we'll hear Mr. McCrea, not on Suspense but in his own radio series Tales of the Texas Rangers. He stars in "Hanging By a Thread" (originally aired on NBC on November 26, 1950).
