If you have seen the 1932 film THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME and/or the 1995 film THE GAME, then you're going to enjoy this CBSRMT episode because this story will keep you on the edge of your seat. It's based off of Robert Louis Stevenson's 1878 short story entitled "The Young Man With The Cream Tarts." I'd prefer to call it "Death's Private Clubhouse" because that's what it mainly is in The Suicide Club. The members in this club want to die, but cannot take their own lives. So, the Director of the club gives each member a card from the deck. Anyone who gets the Ace of Spades, will be murdered. Anyone who gets the Ace of Clubs, will be the murderer. Now THAT is something you would see on an episode of ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS. What I loved the most was the cast: Barry Nelson (as Victor Harris: the gambler), Marian Seldes (as Iris Lorne: the drug addict), John Baragrey (as John Smith: the Director of the club), Lloyd Battista (as Lucas: the Director's servant) and Dan Ocko (as Lieutenant McFee). Each played their roles very mellow, even when the characters are dealing with death. When John Smith gives Victor Harris his mysterious card, he says, "Feel the excitement of not knowing. Live the supreme thrill of wondering." Talk about suspense at its finest! Speaking of suspense, E.G. Marshall grows the intensity in our story and our main characters. Victor Harris's hooked on gambling so he joins the club for the thrill. Iris Lorne is hooked on drugs and joined the club because she was sick of life. In ACT-3, she gets hooked on love, so Victor comforts her at the 33-minute 7-second mark. She did drugs to comfort herself, then later gets comforted by Victor with compassion & companionship. A dose of Romance, I should say. I rate this 4 out of 5 stars for a couple of reasons. FIRST REASON: It had music tunes to fit in this drama-mystery but it needed more. It needed bone chilling music like in Ep. #0016-DEAD FOR A DOLLAR or even Ep. #1245-THE JUDGE'S HOUSE. And the SECOND REASON: The Climax & Resolution ended too quickly. George Lowthar did great on writing this adaptation, but just like Robert Louis Stevenson's story, both versions ended too fast with no suspense. A better ending would be if John Smith had to play as well, he'd get the Ace of Spades, Victor Harris gets the Ace of Clubs, Victor doesn't have the urge to kill, so Lucas steps in and does the deed. There are so many adaptations of this in films & radio, it has to be read, watched, and listened to many times over. A classic worth checking out.
