Radio review - Suspense - "Another Man's Poison" (1951) *** (warning: spoilers)

Two of Suspense's strongest elements - a nervous middle aged man and a bag of cash. Charles Boyer discovers it, and wants to claim it despite police advice - it gets advertised so lots of people go looking for it including a bank robber. Some excellent acting and spooky threats over the phone, with Boyer being particularly superb. Loses points for Boyer getting out of gaol with a deux ex machina confession.
