Alfred HitchcockAlfred Hitchcock's career began in his native England, first as a title designer in the 1920's and quickly moving up to directing silent films.  After finding great success in the UK, Alfred Hitchcock moved to Hollywood to make bigger budget films.  His first American Movie, Rebecca, won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1940.

Some of the biggest names in Hollywood clobbered to work with Alfred Hitchcock including Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Laurence Olivier, Raymond Burr, and more.  Alfred Hitchcock cast some of the leading Hollywood bombshells of the gold age of radio like Grace Kelly, Kim Novak, Joan Fontaine, Ingrid Bergman, Janet Leigh, Marlene Dietrich. Hitchcock used a lot of blondes in his work saying "Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints."

When Alfred Hitchcock moved to television and hosted Alfred Hitchcock Presents in 1955, he became a pop culture icon known for his "gallows humor." Similar to Raymond on old time radio's horror favorite Inner Sanctum, Alfred Hitchcock would crack witty remarks about the grim psychological topics on the show.

As a very visual film maker, Alfred Hitchcock work on radio in less known. However, Hitchcock was a master marketer of his films and utilized the power of the radio to promote his movies on radio shows like Lux Radio Theater, Screen Director's Playhouse, Screen Guild Theater, Suspense, Academy Award Theater, and more.

    Wonderfully acted. Very exciting/suspenseful. You can't go wrong with a Hitchcock radio play.

    Reading Alfred Hitchcock anthologies are perfect for me during my break. Imagine my surprise when I found two stories that were adapted for radio! The obvious one is Sorry, Wrong Number by Lucille Fletcher and Allan Ullman. The story really fleshes out the radio episode as far as the background of the characters and what lead to the circumstances they found themselves in. The second one, Call for Help I honestly can't recall the show but I think it's either Mysterious Traveler or Inner Sanctum. Two elderly sisters are forced to live with their nephew and his wife, and believes the couple are poisoning them to get their inheritance. The story was very close to the radio version.

    Mike

    There is a Sealed Book episode called "Escape By Death" which pretty much has the exact same plot. It was also on The Mysterious Traveler, though the Sealed Book one is the better version of the two.

    Jeff

    I found some newspaper clippings that Spier was involved in creating an anthology of Suspense scripts re-written as short stories, and Sorry Wrong Number was going to be one of them. The script definitely came first. The book anthology never happened, as I think the SWN idea (which would have been the "star" of the book and the main selling focus) got derailed when Fletcher started working on the screenplay and offering it to Hollywood. She had probably finished a draft of the novel. It was in the screenplay that the backstory of SWN started to be fully developed and added to the script.

    Joe

    The novel was written after the radio play, reprinted a number of times including in 1948-49 when the big screen movie came out. Robert Arthur was the ghost writer/editor for early Hitchcock anthologies. Hitchcock merely lent his name to them. You can always tell Arthur ghost wrote because he is thanked by name in the acknowledgements page and Arthur himself added some extra money in his pocket by reprinting short stories he wrote for the pulps in the 1940s and 1950s, which were often recycled for MYSTERIOUS TRAVELER episodes.

    Martin

    You get so many shows for a cheap price. I'm not through with all the shows featuring his movies on radio and him (Hitchcock) narrating radio mysteries. There is the movie version of SORRY WRONG NUMBER (Not a Hitchcock movie) It has the movie actors from the film; Barbara Stanwyck & Bert Lancaster. In the interview Stanwyck is still out of breath from her performance. I'm so happy to have ALL STAR PARADE OF BANDS & JUBILEE, featuring; Sarah Vaughn, Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Mat Dennis, Lena Horn, Julie London, Ray Anthony and so many more. And always bargain prices. We also have a chance to print out what's on the CD.

    Are there other Alfred Hitchcock fans? I was just listening to Suspense - Jul 6, 1943: (48) The White Rose Murders w/Maureen O'Hara and I recognized a few chord stabs in the music as belonging to The Trouble with Harry. Sure enough, at the end of the show, Bernard Hermann was announced as the composer. [patting myself on the back]

    Brian

    Hermann began in radio. He was with Orson in the old Mercury Theatre days.

    Tim Verified Purchase
