Old Time Radio Classics

Show Notes

Suspense presents “Stranger with My Face,” originally broadcast on CBS Radio on July 23, 1961. This late-run episode, commonly listed as episode 886, stars Bernard Grant and was written by Allan Sloane and directed by Bruno Zirato Jr.

A man abruptly finds himself four years in the future, lost in an unfamiliar city—and wearing another man’s face. As he struggles to understand his impossible situation, the drama builds an eerie science-fiction mystery around identity, time, and a disturbing connection between two men.

Old Time Radio Classics 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.
