Radio Detective Story Hour Episode 128 - Dime A Dance

Published: Feb. 1, 2009, 4:33 a.m.

Another visit with Cornell Woolrich, considered the father of noir fiction. I\u2019ll look at one of his short novellas, Dime A Dance, published in 1938 and its adaptation on radio\u2019s Suspense on January 13, 1944 starring Lucille Ball. The adaptation works for the most part and has the twists and turns of a good noirish suspense story.\n\nMusic under is Sonny Rollin\u2019s rendition of \u201cPoor Butterfly.\u201d
