Radio review – Suspense – “The Pit and the Pendulum” (1964) ***1/2

Raymond Burr is good value as the tortured (literally) hero – here specified as one of Napoleon’s officers fighting in Spain, where the inquisition get hold of him and whack him in the castle. It makes sense (there’s even a trial at the beginning). Appropriately spooky and all that – the internal nature of the tale adapts well to radio.
