Suspense: “Too Hot To Live” 10/26/50
Richard Widmark gives a superb performance as a man accused of murder—on the run and uncertain even in his own mind whether he’s guilty. Widmark’s character, forced to go on the run while barefoot on a blisteringly hot day, grows increasingly frantic as he tries to prove his innocence—or perhaps find proof of his guilt.
I don’t think I’ve heard this specific episode before. Widmark exudes a palpable sense of fear and desperation, equaling even Vincent Price’s performance in old-time radio’s best ever single episode: Escape’s “Three Skeleton Key.”
