Show Notes
Academy Award Theater presents “Suspicion,” episode 32, originally broadcast on CBS on October 30, 1946. This half-hour adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1941 film stars Cary Grant, reprising his role as Johnnie Aysgarth, with Ann Todd as Lina McLaidlaw.
After marrying the charming but unreliable Johnnie, Lina begins to question the secrets behind his gambling, debts, and shifting stories. Adapted from the film based on Francis Iles’ novel Before the Fact, this tense domestic mystery builds on doubt, danger, and a wife’s growing fear of what her husband may be capable of.
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.
