Obsession (Old Time Radio)


(5 stars; 1 reviews)

Obsession was an early 1950s syndicated anthology of thriller and suspense programs with some of Hollywood's best radio talent. The scripts are unfortunately inconsistent, but most are good listening. Among radio collectors, this series is not well-documented, and does not appear in all radio reference directories. It was, however, a fairly big budget program. Had it appeared earlier, it might have attracted a larger audience. These copies have been verified and are in better sound than usually found.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

Impressive and Different !


(5 stars)

I'm not leaving this page without alerting aficionados of OTR noir to this series. Scripting and other elements delightful and unexpected had me rewinding repeatedly to hear them again. The early episode called something like "Murder Deferred" or "Second Choice" (I don't have the exact title visible, sorry) is my favorite so far.
