Episode Description

Originally Aired: October 17, 1946 In Suspense #215, “The Man Who Thought He Was Edward G. Robinson,” mild-mannered Homer J. Hubbard is trapped in a miserable marriage, mocked and henpecked by his domineering wife, Ada. But after seeing Little Caesar, he becomes obsessed with Edward G. Robinson—so much so that he starts mimicking the actor’s gangster persona and plotting murder. When fate hands him a chance to meet his idol, Homer’s delusion deepens… and so does the danger. A darkly comic psychological thriller about identity, repression, and a man pushed to the edge by fantasy. Cast: Edward G. Robinson (as himself and Homer J. Hubbard) Tags: Suspense, psychological, darkcomedy, identitycrisis, EdwardGRobinson, oldtimeradio, murderplot, doppelganger, delusion, classicdrama, 1940sradio, vintageaudio, suspensepodcast
