| Quiet, Please |
Calling All Souls
|
Originally broadcast October 31, 1948 | (no label) |
This episode: on Halloween, an innocent man on death row sends his soul out of his body to find out who really did the murders - but he finds out too late: "They hanged you half an hour ago."
The series is now considered by many to be 1 of old-time radio's best science fiction / horror series – if not THE best. It was always very reductive: very few people were in any episode, and all the action centered around 1 extraordinary actor: Ernest Chappell. Excerpts about Quiet, Please from Dunning's Encyclopedia Of Old-Time Radio: "...unsung and little-heard in it's day...Creator Wyllis Cooper was radio's best practitioner of an almost surrealistic dramatic form....His characters walked in a fuzzy dream world where the element of menace was ripe and ever-present...." All in all, superior radio. |
