Inner Sanctum Halloween Month, day 3 of 31: "The Colorblind Formula"

Today I'm featuring the Inner Sanctum Mystery titled "The Color Blind Formula", which was first broadcast December 6, 1944. This episode involves a scientist who has a created a solution to cure color-blindness. However, it seems the scientist has been murdered and a blackmailer has figured out what's happened. This was a wartime story, which becomes relevant near the end of the episode. This is one of several episodes featuring Richard Widmark, who had a terrific radio voice!

The surviving copy of this episode is version from the Mystery Playhouse hosted by Peter Lorre. The actual program is hosted by Raymond Edward Johnson and the lead role belongs to Richard Widmark. You can listen to this episode at archive.org by clicking here.
