Show Notes
Sonny Tufts was the Hollywood discovery of 1943 and seemed primed for a huge career. Unfortunately, a battle with alcohol and some tawdry headlines soon overshadowed his screen performances. His dubious reputation in his later years also led to a rumor surrounding his one and only visit to Suspense. We'll hear him as a ham radio operator investigating something suspicious on the other end of the line in "Cat and Mouse" (originally aired on CBS on March 30, 1944). And we'll hear him visit Duffy's Tavern, where Ms. Duffy has her eye on Sonny as a date for a Valentine's Day dance (originally aired on NBC on February 2, 1945).
