RADIO SHOW SUSPENSE: "THREE LETHAL WORDS"

RADIO SHOW SUSPENSE: "THREE LETHAL WORDS"-
Actress Joan Crawford has a collection of films that could fill a blog such as this one, but this time I like to share with you her performance in one of radio's finest dramatic program SUSPENSE. This episode titled "Three lethal words" Stars Joan Crawford in one of her typical roles, an aging actress married to a much younger man, and she would do anything just anything to keep her man.
This pretty much sums up most of the latter part of Ms Crawford's movie career as well. Just listening to her performance you totally picture those bushy eyebrows and the giant eyes coming at you with those frightening red lips accompanied by the football player shoulder pads. She is not one to mess with, just like the male lead in this radio play, he has made the mistake of messing with our Ms. Joan.
Joan plays Sally Winters, a former actress coming back to society after spending time in the mental hospital. What tragic event that lead her to the asylum? She as married to a man almost 20 years younger than her, a famous actress and her young husband. That was a career suicide for this rising young male star, he just couldn't be casted a young love interest in any movie when the audience know what he has to go home to every night. That made him the laughing stock of every movie studio, with comments like: 'Hey have you seen "Sunset Blvd"? Seen it? He's living it!"


What man with any self respect can live like that? Not this man, so he leaves his aging wife for a younger woman. Well that was the biggest mistake of his life.....
You'll find out what happens has Sally takes her revenge, she keeps repeating words like "I'll destroy him! I'll destroy him!'
The climax of the story is when Sally visits her man after months in rehab and she says softly to him; "Darling, come closer, I want you to take a good look at me....because I want that to be THE LAST THING YOU WILL EVER SEE!'
"AAARGHHHH!!!" the man yells.
To me the Three Lethal Words are; HILARIOUSLY FUNNY & DELICIOUS!
