This Friday on Vintage Classic Radio's "Friday Night Noir," we are excited to present two classic tales that promise to thrill and chill. First up, we feature the "Mysterious Traveler" radio show with its episode "They Who Sleep" from January 6th, 1945. The plot revolves around a businessman who uncovers a plot against him by his wife and a colleague, leading to a psychological unraveling as he faces his own moral failings. The episode showcases Maurice Tarplin as the Mysterious Traveler, alongside Phillip Clarke, Kelly Flint, and Bryna Raeburn in supporting roles. Following this, we will dive into the "Escape" series with the episode titled "The Game," originally broadcast on August 30th, 1953. Set in the dense jungles of India, the story follows a seasoned hunter pitted against a lethal tiger, offering a gripping narrative on human survival instincts and a critique of colonial attitudes. The episode features Ben Wright, John Dehner, Georgia Ellis, and Paul Frees, providing a robust ensemble cast. Join us for a night of suspense and drama on Vintage Classic Radio.
