Step into the world of suspense and psychological drama with "In Fear And Trembling," an intense episode from the classic radio series "Suspense!" which originally aired on February 16, 1943. This gripping story explores the depths of fear and paranoia as a woman becomes convinced that her husband and his lover are plotting to kill her.

The setting is a grey stone mansion perched on the edge of a cliff, battered by decades of storms. Four years ago, Gilbert Durant brought his wife, Lucia, to this isolated home. Their happiness was shattered a year ago when Lucia's half-sister moved in. Since then, an insidious horror has gnawed at Lucia's mind. She notices her husband’s growing detachment and his increasing absorption in his writing. Fear grips her, a fear of something unspoken and inexplicable.

As Lucia's paranoia intensifies, she becomes certain that Gilbert and his lover are conspiring against her. In a desperate bid to protect herself, she decides to act first. This tale of psychological tension and impending doom is masterfully brought to life by a stellar cast including Mary Astor, Verna Felton, and Joseph Kearns ("The Man In Black").

Directed by Ted Bliss and produced by William Spier, "In Fear And Trembling" delves into the dark corners of the human psyche, exploring themes of betrayal, fear, and the fragile nature of sanity.

Join us for a chilling journey into the mind of a woman on the edge, where every shadow hides a threat and every whisper fuels the fire of paranoia. Whether you're a fan of psychological thrillers, classic radio dramas, or tales of suspense, "In Fear And Trembling" promises to captivate and unsettle.
