To this point, SUSPENSE has drawn from a lot of different sources. However, this original script is the first episode to fully capture the feel of a 1950s horror pulp comic book- albeit with a greater level of characterization and more sympathetic characters. There's a bit of humor mixed in here (most of it coming from Adrienne Wilkinson, who shows great comedic timing), but by and large this is a tale of woe and rough justice. Solid performances by the entire cast, including Dana Perry-Hayes (a professional singer in real life) as the forlorn Madeline Charles and Rocky Cerda as Abner, her ever-sympathetic ear. Nice touch: Perry-Hayes recording original music just for this episode.
