 I rate this episode ★★★★★ for EXCELLENT. The writings of Henry Slesar for CBSRMT is like the writings of Charles Beaumont for THE TWILIGHT ZONE. And the reason why I say that, is because the writing is so good, it keeps you on the edge of your seat for it combines the Drama-Mystery with the Fantasy-Mystery. In fact, this episode reminds of the 77th Episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE called "The Jungle" where the main character goes through this superstitious journey and believes that there are animals out to kill him for his evil deeds. The sound effects were "killer" in this and had the right bits in each act. The sounds of the typewriter, the footsteps, the ocean beach, the Hindustani music from the Sitar instrument, clinking of the tableware, pages of the will being torn apart, the engine of the jaguar running, dog barking, car screeching, rotary phone, window glass broken from a sparrow, the shower running, door knocking, the phone ringing, seagulls, superstitious noise from the cellar, cat screeching, gun trigger pulled, and the mouse squeaking at the very end: PERFECT! And I couldn't get enough of the music in this. There were dramatic tunes in ACT-1, the theme of "killer intentions" in ACT-2, and the best part of all; the JAWS-like theme at the 30-minute 33-second mark in ACT-3 where the villain becomes very paranoid. The music from that point on became horrific! As for E.G. Marshall for being Host in the 2nd episode of the series, outstanding! In his Prologue, he says, "Come in. Welcome to the sound of suspense. The fear you can hear." And that's exactly what we had in this story! In ACT-1, he brought us into the story in a flash. in ACT-2, the reluctant murderer has been created and ponders if his victim has returned. In ACT-3, the Cat & Mouse game has ended. And in his Epilogue, he asks us fans do we believe in reincarnation; especially in Radio Theatre. Very Rod Serling-like in this. And of course, there's our magnificent cast: Patrick O'Neal (as the villainous Richard Morseby), Marian Seldes (as the spiritual Una Morseby, Rachel, and Cook (who you can hear that character scream only once at the 29-minute 54-second mark)), Nick Pryor (as Mr. Prouty & Parker), and Dan Ocko (as Dr. Sing & Max the Newspaper Chief). After listening to so many CBSRMT episodes, I've decided to put Marian Seldes on my list of Top 5 favorite CBSRMT actresses! Who are the other 4 you might ask? That's a mystery for another time. If you're a newcomer or an old fan of the series, this is one episode that you must listen to in the dark. Enjoy! =0>
