Breaking WallsBW - EP154—006: Stars on Suspense in 1944—Listen To Orson Welles Take Over Suspense in May 1944Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers
In May of 1944 Orson Welles appeared on Suspense three times. The first of which was on May 4th in “The Dark Tower,” a play originally written by George S. Kaufman and Alexander Woollcott. Adapted for Suspense by Peter Barry, Woollcott had died in January of 1943. In many ways, the play is a satire of Welles’ friend, John Barrymore, and it's ripe with innuendo and other inside humor.
