Comedy Stars on Suspense, Day 28: Gene Kelly!

Today's Suspense episode is "Thieves Fall Out" (November 16, 1943) starring musical comedy film star Gene Kelly! This was the first of 4 Suspense episode starring Gene Kelly (I blogged about one of them before: "To Find Help").

Kelly portrays Art Kramer, "a gentleman of most uncertain scruples"; that is, a black marketeer. Art wants to advance in his criminal organization but he's got some gambling debts to take care of. He decides to eliminate his boss McPhail and his debtor George, but his scheme hits a little snag.

This is one of the earliest Suspense episodes I've featured this month (it was before the show had a sponsor).

Tomorrow: Ozzie Nelson and Harriet Hilliard!
