Boris Karloff, then appearing in Arsenic and Old Lace on Broadway, is good value in this version of the Edgar Allan Poe story as the kindly man who goes mad and kills a man, only to be tormented by a beating heart. It’s changed a bit from the story – Karloff is deaf, a nice soul, and the dead man a canky old type who deserves to be killed. This story always works on radio and it does here.
