Comedy Stars on Suspense, Day 24: Rosalind Russell!

Today's Suspense episode is "Consideration" (February 2, 1950) starring Rosalind Russell! Rosalind Russell performed in comedic and dramatic film roles but she's unquestionably best-remembered for Howard Hawks' comedy His Girl Friday (1940).

Ellen Forrester (Russell) has been using up their savings, upsetting her husband, who has been embezzling money. When he takes out a new insurance policy for them both, Ellen slowly grows convinced he's planning to murder her.

This was among the earliest episodes of Suspense I heard and I've always thought it was a very strong drama with an ending I didn't see coming.

Tomorrow: Phil Silvers!
