Radio review –Suspense – “Three Skeleton Key” (1956) **** (warning: spoilers)

Vincent Price in one of the most famous radio plays of all time: he’s one of three men in a lighthouse in French Guinea inundated with rats. Very suspenseful finale with the rats struggling to get through and one of his co-workers going insane, the other being bitten – then they are saved by the arrival of a banana boat, where the rats go to eat. The haunting image of this rat filled banana boat loose on the ocean is one surely worthy of a sequel.

I believe the title of "one of the most famous radio plays of all time" is "Three Skeleton Key," not "Crew." :-)
