Suspense - "The Man Who Thought He Was Edward G Robinson" (Old Time Radio, 1948)
Suspense | Old Time RadioShow Notes
Suspense presents “The Man Who Thought He Was Edward G. Robinson,” listed in the supplied episode metadata as originally broadcast September 3, 1948. Episode number: 0.
Edward G. Robinson stars as meek, put-upon Homer J. Hubbard, a man so captivated by Robinson’s hard-boiled screen persona in Little Caesar that he begins trying to live like a movie gangster. Written by Lesley Raddatz, this darkly comic, self-referential drama finds Robinson playing both Homer and himself.
Suspense presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
