Comedy Stars on Suspense, Day 11: Ethel Merman!

Today's Suspense episode is "Never Follow a Banjo Act!" (February 1, 1954) starring singer/comedian Ethel Merman!

Rosie Jones is a vaudeville performer whose new singing partner is a bit mentally unbalanced.

This is a pretty good showcase for Ethel Merman as a singer but I find it underwhelming as an episode of Suspense; the insane killer feels tacked-on, rather than driving the narrative.

Tomorrow: Richard Crenna!
