Alfred Hitchcock's Writers on Suspense!

Yesterday I blogged about stars from Alfred Hitchcock's films who also appeared as performers on the radio series Suspense, which was originally supposed to be run by Hitchcock himself.

I think it's interesting to note that many authors whose stories were adapted into Hitchcock's films or who wrote screenplays for him had other stories of theirs heard on Suspense, so I've created a list for them as well; note that I'm not including Suspense episodes adapted from the same works used in Hitchcock's films (ie, the Lodger).

Raymond Chandler (screenplay for Strangers on a Train [1951]) also wrote the Suspense stories: "Pearls Are a Nuisance" (April 19, 1945) and "Pearls Are a Nuisance" (April 20, 1950).

John Michael Hayes (screenplay for Rear Window [1954], To Catch a Thief [1955], The Trouble with Harry [1955] and The Man Who Knew Too Much [1956]) also wrote (or adapted) the Suspense stories: "Lady in Distress" (May 1, 1947), "Very Much Like a Nightmare" (May 25, 1950), "True Report" (August 31, 1950), "The Wages of Sin" (October 19, 1950), "Vamp 'Til Dead" (January 11, 1951), "The Well-Dressed Corpse" (January 18, 1951), "The Windy City Six" (February 8, 1951), "The Gift of Jumbo Brannigan" (March 1, 1951), "Early to Death" (April 12, 1951), "Death on My Hands" (May 10, 1951), "Vamp 'Til Dead" (September 29, 1957) and "The Well-Dressed Corpse" (October 13, 1957). Hitchcock hired Hayes for Rear Window after hearing "Death on My Hands," which unfortunately cost Suspense one of their best writers!

Ben Hecht (screenplay for Spellbound [1945], Notorious [1946] and The Paradine Case [1947]) also wrote the Suspense stories: "The Marvelous Barastro" (April 13, 1944), "Actor's Blood" in which he also performed (August 24, 1944), "Beyond Good and Evil" (October 11, 1945) and "Crime without Passion" (May 2, 1946).

Arthur Laurents (screenplay for Rope [1948]) also wrote the Suspense story: "Heart's Desire" (March 22, 1945).

Marie Belloc Lowndes (author of The Lodger [1927]) also wrote the Suspense story: "The Story of Ivy" (June 21, 1945).

Philip MacDonald (screenplay for Rebecca [1940]) also wrote the Suspense story: "The Green and Gold String" (June 9, 1957).

Ethel Lina White (author of The Lady Vanishes [1938]) also wrote the Suspense story: "Finishing School" (December 30, 1943).

Cornell Woolrich (author of Rear Window [1954]) also wrote the Suspense stories: "Last Night" (June 15, 1943), "The White Rose Murders" (July 6, 1943), "The Singing Walls" (September 2, 1943), "The After Dinner Story" (October 26, 1943), "The Black Curtain" (December 2, 1943), "The Night Reveals" (December 9, 1943), "Dime a Dance" (January 13, 1944), "The Black Path of Fear" (August 31, 1944), "You'll Never See Me Again" (September 14, 1944), "Eve" (October 19, 1944), "The Singing Walls" (November 2, 1944), "The Black Curtain" (November 30, 1944), "Library Book" (September 20, 1945), "I Won't Take a Minute" (December 6, 1945), "The Black Path of Fear" (March 7, 1946), "Post Mortem" (April 4, 1946), "The Night Reveals" (April 18, 1946), "You'll Never See Me Again" (September 5, 1946), "They Call Me Patrice" (December 12, 1946), "You Take Ballistics" (March 13, 1947), "The Black Curtain" (January 3, 1948), "The Black Angel" (January 24, 1958), "Nightmare" (March 13, 1948), "Deadline at Dawn" (May 15, 1948), "If the Dead Could Talk" (January 20, 1949), "Three O'Clock" (March 10, 1949), "The Lie" (April 28, 1949), "The Night Reveals" (May 26, 1949), "Momentum" (October 27, 1949) and "Angel Face" (May 18, 1950). As you might imagine, Woolrich was one of Suspense producer William Spier's favourite authors!

Alfred Hitchcock's Stars on Suspense!

As you may know, director Alfred Hitchcock was originally supposed to be the guiding force behind the long-running radio series Suspense. The show first debuted on Forecast in 1940 with a truncated adaptation of "The Lodger" but when the series materialized in 1942, Hitchcock was no longer attached to the project.

Still, there are many interesting links between Hitchcock and Suspense. Much earlier I wrote a blog post about stories on Suspense that were also adapted to television on Alfred Hitchcock Presents. You can read that list here.

I think it would also be interesting to examine which actors in Hitchcok's films made appearances on Suspense. If you're a fan of Hitchcock's films and Suspense but haven't heard all of these episodes, perhaps you'll check them out? Each of these link to the Suspense Project blog!
