CBSRMT ~ Markheim: Man or Monster 279

Karl Markheim is the ultimate anti-hero as he manipulates and swindles everyone around him to get his ends. He is left out from the will of his rich uncle and decides to torture his wife and her father for money, blithely unaware of the strange figure who witnesses all from behind a mirror.

whos the pic mel

[@williamnorton9547]

That was a nice touch, the casting of radio legend Grace Matthews, who played no less a character than Margo Lane on my personal favorite old time radio show, The Shadow.

[@remopesce6477]

I love listening to the old commercials in these shows. And yes, I was disappointed at the way Karl folded after completing his mission in life. What was the point?

[@robinfa-84-tx79]

I like that the original commercials are included too. 🙂

the percentage of psychopaths is steadily increasing, always has been on an upward slope...

[@XyzXyz-mm9vq]

Did anyone notice the mother/wife was even MORE EVIL than Karl?

[@benjaminallen105]

Yep. A classic example of, 'The Woman Behind The Man'.

[@daviegriffin3539]

Kevin McCarthy❓️😳

[@rickmaurer8726]

LOL Guy spends his whole life in debauchery and sin never getting caught or punished. Then when he is about to complete the big score and get away eith it, he chokes and gives up. Far better if it had been a Poe ending.

[@shanstergoodheart5177]

Why did they change the story

[@fleabiskit5649]

E G Marshall said it was suggested by the story, so very loosely based on it

The 9th commandment is not thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife. That is the Papal version. Number 9, in the Bible, is thou shalt not bear false witness.
