Suspense presents “The Man Who Thought He Was Edward G Robinson,” originally broadcast on CBS on October 17, 1946. Episode 215 stars Edward G. Robinson in a self-referential dual role, with Verna Felton as Ada Hubbard; it was written by Lesley Raddatz and directed by William Spier.
Meek, long-suffering Homer J. Hubbard becomes fixated on Robinson’s hard-boiled screen image after seeing Little Caesar. As pressures at home build, Homer’s fantasy of becoming a decisive gangster type leads to an uneasy, darkly comic encounter when the real Edward G. Robinson comes to town.
The 50 Greatest Old Time Radio Shows presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
