Episode 512 - Menaces from the Magic Kingdom (Philip Marlowe, The Whistler, & Johnny Dollar)

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The classic Disney animated films of the 50s and 60s featured some of the great stars of the golden age of radio. Some of the best villains in those pictures were voiced by veterans of <em>Escape</em>, <em>Suspense</em>, <em>Sam Spade</em>, and more. We'll hear a trio of radio mysteries featuring a quartet of Disney actors. First, Hans Conried - Captain Hook of <em>Peter Pan</em> - and Betty Lou Gerson - Cruella de Vil of <em>One Hundred and One Dalmatians</em> - co-star in "The Unfair Lady" from <em>The Adventures of Philip Marlowe</em> (originally aired on CBS on June 4, 1949). Next, Martha Wentworth - Mad Madam Mim from <em>The Sword in the Stone</em> - may be a murderess in "Weak Sister" from <em>The Whistler</em> (originally aired on CBS on October 14, 1946). Finally, Eleanor Audley - who memorably played both the Evil Stepmother in <em>Cinderella</em> and Maleficent in <em>Sleeping Beauty</em> - needs Johnny Dollar's help in "The Doting Dowager Matter" (originally aired on CBS on January 25, 1959).</span></p>
