Wow. These radio drama of great films are lovely to listen to. Incredible writing and directing in both mediums . Exquisite acting. Shadow is one of my favorite Hitchcocks; I watch it often. But this treatment is fascinating and very smart. Brilliant opening act- the sense of time ; the sound effects and the suave villain Uncle Charlie - Who could be better at that in voice only than Cary Grant⁉️
This is one of my favourites...Cary Grant as the bad guy, he plays it well...listening 💃with fatty 😺 Good night/good morning and may you be blest🙏 14/02/2023 @ 00:15am UK
Thanks for sharing this. I enjoyed the story. I also liked listening to the ads that were part of the download. Especially the one that advertised the RCA Victor TV. I think if the broadcaster knew the negative impact TV had on Radio, he would have been less interested in promoting it.
Suspense & ESCAPE! Interestingly Hitchcock wanted William Powell to play Uncle Charlie originally but Powell turned it down. I’m sure he was delighted with the results with Cotten playing it though.
@@brunoantony3218 That is interesting. I would think Hitchcock might have leaned more towards James Stewart or Cary Grant. (I too, am a big fan of Hitchcock ) You've chosen an interesting screen name! I have "Strangers on a Train" uploaded on my Suspense and Escape channel! Frank Lovejoy plays Bruno. - Charlie
Great audio version. Cary Grant still in his comedy phase doing incredible serious acting here; wonderful Female lead. What a voice she has. This girl sounds like she is caressing the Mike. Betsy Drake I salute your acting and a voice to die for. Subscribed when I saw his list of Hitchcock audio. Great stuff. Makes the Oscars look like the fakes , posers, and insipid morons they are. Try finding theater actors like this anywhere near Hollywood… not bloody likely. Imho.
Glad you said imho because you are wrong imho! There are as fine screen actors as there are stage; in fact the best of the best are fully capable of both and often the same. The medium changes, on the stage or captured on film but not the talent. Talent knows what talent knows . Your snobbery is showing.
great! i subscribed. i have this on dvd with a bunch of other classics like laura, dial m for murder, sorry wrong number, midnight lace, REAR WINDOW=MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!! i live in a manh high rise & whenever i watch the movie, i look out my windows & wonder whats going on behind those other windows???!!!! LOL! anyone.....was there ever a radio episode for the movie, rear window with jimmy stewart & grace kelly? i havent found one.
Cary Grant and his soon-to-be 3rd wife, Betsy Drake. It was a chance for Cary to express some of his darkness. They are very good together. Betsy wrote Houseboat as a vehicle for them both, but Cary replaced Betsy with his latest fling: Sophia Loren.

I can only appreciate this, I can't nitpick or make comparisons, it's just fine with me. thanks from Scotland
That was so great! Thank you!
I love his voice!!!!Cary's. And his accent
Good job Charlie … I subscribed when I saw your list ! Great choices.
As heard on NBC's "SCREEN DIRECTORS PLAYHOUSE", November 9, 1950.
Thank you for that info.
Fun, but no one can replace Joseph Cotten as uncle Charlie, not even Cary Grant. Same goes for Theresa Wright, she's irreplaceable.
I'm with you, but I'm a little biased as Cotten is one of my favorite actors!
My guess is that Cotten was unavailable, as he did many other Radio Theater Episodes. He also was a favorite of Hitchcock.

@@brunoantony3218 Although, Wiliam Powell did play the role for Lux Radio Theater's version, along with Theresa Wright.
Which year was this recorded?
Cleverly rearranged for radio!

Wasn't Cary who made the change and he was furious when he heard.
Anyone up?
Go to my "Suspense & ESCAPE!" channel! You'll find a lot of people that don't sleep!

I didn’t enjoy this one. Too many liberties were taken with the story.
times have changed, this seems lame now. best bits are the adds.
Some of these are better than others, but think of this: None could be produced today!
I love his films, he was a master.
