Suspense and the "Crusade for Freedom"

Our thanks to loyal reader Stacey for sending us the link to the video below. It comes from a 1977 CBS television special called When Television was Young. The program discusses how Suspense was involved in fighting communism with the "Crusade for Freedom."

I'm guessing that the episode referenced in this program is "The Train for Czechoslovakia," which aired on October 23, 1951. We can see a bit of it in this clip, but does the full episode still exist?

Still Watching...

Hi Folks,

Our crack team of imaginary experts are still going through the new Suspense DVD set. Overall, we are pretty pleased with this new collection.

It is taking me longer to pick out the ones that I want to write about because there are so many good ones this time around. I was also pleased to see that there are two episodes based on Cornell Woolrich stories. The first two sets didn't have any.

So, stay tuned. We are still working on it. I will be sharing some of my thoughts on these episodes via Twitter. You can find us at http://twitter.com/EscapeSuspense

Best,

Christine
