Episode Synopsis
Suspense enters its final decade on the air and loses its longtime sponsor as our journey through the years of the show continues. Between 1952 and 1954, Elliott Lewis remained at the helm of the series and continued to present compelling dramas, but the rise of television and the loss of Autolite's financial support left Suspense in a transition period by the middle of the decade. We'll hear my favorite shows from this three year run: Deborah Kerr is a jewel thief out for revenge against her old partner in "The Lady Pamela" (originally aired on CBS on March 31, 1952). Jack Benny celebrates his retirement with a robbery in "A Good and Faithful Servant" (originally aired on June 2, 1952). Frank Lovejoy fights to free his hometown from the oppressive grip of criminals in "The Frightened City" (originally aired on CBS on November 10, 1952). Joseph Kearns tries to commit an experiment in objective murder in "The Earth is Made of Glass" (originally aired on CBS on June 17, 1954). And finally, John Dehner sets out to prove he cannot be killed in "The Last Letter of Dr. Bronson" (originally aired on CBS on November 4, 1954).
