NOTE: The lead is played by Oscar and Grammy winner Orson Welles, one of the most influential filmmakers in Hollywood history.

His first film Citizen Kane, which featured many groundbreaking lighting effects, camera angles and sound techniques (borrowed from radio), is still considered one of the greatest movies ever made. He followed up with many more classics such as The Lady from Shanghai, Touch of Evel, The Magnificent Ambersons, The Third Man and The Stranger. His Mercury Theatre's production of The War of the Worlds in 1938 became one of the most famous radio broadcasts in history when many listeners thought it was real and caused a national panic.

Suspense, "radio's outstanding theater of thrills", was one of the premiere programs of the Golden Age of Radio, featuring a who's who of Hollywood stars spread out over its 900+ episodes. Scripts focused on suspense/thriller/mystery plots, typically involving a normal person being thrown into a bizarre or dangerous situation, with the solution withheld until the last moment--often with a surprising twist.

Guest stars included Cary Grant, Orson Welles, Frank Sinatra, Agnes Moorehead, Humphrey Bogart, Lucille Ball and Marlene Dietrich. The show ran from 1942 to 1962.

Its haunting theme music was written by Academy Award winner Bernard Herrmann, who scored many of Hollywood's most memorable movies, including Psycho, The Birds, Vertigo, Cape Fear, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Citizen Kane and The Man Who Knew Too Much.
