Fred Gwynn’s first appearance on the Radio Mystery Theatre. A brilliant adaptation of the Poe classic, “The Tell-Tale Heartâ€. An out of luck family seek assistance from a churlish and perverse old uncle who agrees to take them in on his isolated farm. He works them hard, feeds them little, makes advances on his nephew’s wife, and is unmoved when their daughter dies from the stress.
Seems like not much happens in the story, but I never felt that the story was dragging. Packs a wallop at the end. Superb story.
