Comedy Stars on Suspense, Day 23: Red Skelton!

Today's Suspense episode is "The Search for Isabel" (November 3, 1949) starring Red Skelton! Skelton was a comedy star in films and in his own radio show (1941-1953). He was renowned for his ad-libs.

Dick Brown (Skelton) has a series of dreams about a woman named Isabel, a name Dick keeps hearing people ask for over the phone. Dick decides to find Isabel for himself to see if she matches his fantasies but discovers to find her, he has to through the mob.

I've never been too warm to Red Skelton's style of comedy but I think he's okay in this story; it's definitely a very light-hearted Suspense though, nowhere near as intense as other episodes I've featured this month.

Tomorrow: Rosalind Russell!
