Episode 415 - Favorites from 1944

Our journey back through the years of Suspense continues with my favorite episodes from 1944. Lucille Ball is a taxi dancer who hopes to avoid a murderous dance partner in "Dime a Dance" (originally aired on CBS on January 13, 1944), and Charles Ruggles suspects his new housekeeper may be too good to be true in "Suspicion" (originally aired on CBS on February 10, 1944). Orson Welles stars in a rare two-part Suspense science fiction drama "Donovan's Brain" (originally aired on CBS on May 18 and May 25, 1944), and Vincent Price and Ida Lupino co-star in "Fugue in C Minor," a Gothic horror drama from the pen of Lucille Fletcher (originally aired on CBS on June 1, 1944). Charles Laughton encounters a strange man who claims to have invented an undetectable method for murder in "The Man Who Knew How" (originally aired on CBS on August 10, 1944), and Gene Kelly enjoys a seemingly supernatural streak of luck…until he doesn't in "The Man Who Couldn't Lose" (originally aired on CBS on September 28, 1944).
