If you thought James Stewart was miscast in the film, wait til you hear Victory Jory here. Jory has a wonderfully deep radio voice, and he tries – and isn’t terrible it should be said – he’s simply not believable as the one legged, tormented Rupert. Hurt Hatfield and Lloyd Bochner however are excellent as the killers and the piece is full of menace and dread. The stuff in the play with the girl going “I bet the dead body is in that chest” is less OTT on radio because you can’t see the chest.
