Tales of ... SUSPENSE!

			Well dear readers, I am here to tell you I sucessfully tracked down PLN's episode of "Suspense" (it was getting doubtful at the end after scrolling through 25 episodes and hitting the last disc with little confirmation that any of the celebs listed on the outside of the box had been in any of the episodes provided) but lo and behold, disc 4 episode 1 of collection 1 of Suspense, the episode entitled: "Woman in Love" does in fact contain a very young Newman (so young that he doesn't even warrant billing at the top of the show). "And now 'Suspense' sponsored by Auto-Lite and it's 90,000 dealers everywhere..." This episode of Suspense takes us to Budapest, 1952 where Alexia, a young woman who wants to travel to Sweden to be with her  fiance but her mother (?) and some sort of underground leader want her to carry information to the resistance (at least I think that's what's happening here... so very difficult to tell). Alexia is also the only character that speaks with a Hungarian accent (which makes her absolutely ridiculous, because it is, in fact, the worst accent ever.) Alexia is sent to the passport office to get her papers in order, and it is here where we catch our first glimpse of Communist Captain Radefski (PLN). His eyes dart up to Alexia, and maybe it's just me, but you can see the star he is destined to become in that flash. Sadly, as the play progresses and Radefski opens his mouth, we can see that PLN does not quite have the acting chops that won him so many Oscar nominations. There seems to be no point to this episode, it ends abruptly and provides little satisfaction other than PN's chiseled cheekbones. 2007-08-01 19:09:00 GMT
