🎙️SUSPENSE – “A MAN IN THE HOUSE” | Film Noir Radio Drama | VR Remaster | 4K

Step into a shadowy world of desperation, sacrifice, and chilling suspense in this remastered classic radio drama — now presented without Roma Wines ads and reimagined in a hauntingly immersive virtual reality setting: a stormy Brooklyn night, rain lashing the windows, the soft glow of a tube radio crackling to life...

📻 Originally aired August 2, 1945, “A Man in the House” is a psychological thriller from the golden age of radio, starring the brilliant Joan Lorring as Emily Barrett — a mousy librarian shackled to a bitter, wheelchair-bound mother and the weight of lost youth.

The neighbors said all she needed was a man in the house... They had no idea what kind of man would come knocking.

When a cold-eyed intruder (played by Joseph Kearns) enters their suffocating world, he brings with him not only menace and murder — but a twisted form of liberation. A taut tale of isolation, obedience, and unspoken longing, written by Leslie Edgely, and delivered with all the chiaroscuro intensity of true film noir.

🎥 Presented in a rich film noir VR experience — imagine you're nestled into a creaky armchair in a 1940s Brooklyn apartment. Thunder rumbles. The rain pours. The radio whispers danger.

This is Suspense at its darkest.

This episode is presented for educational and historical purposes, preserving the artistry of these original live radio performances so that future generations can experience and appreciate the storytelling, talent, and atmosphere of the golden age of broadcasting.
