Escape - "The Most Dangerous Game" (Old Time Radio)

Escape presents “The Most Dangerous Game,” originally broadcast on CBS on October 1, 1947, as episode 8. Adapted by Irving Ravetch from Richard Connell’s celebrated short story, the drama stars Paul Frees as Sanger Rainsford and Hans Conried as General Zaroff. After becoming separated from his yacht near a remote Caribbean island, renowned hunter Rainsford reaches shore in search of help. What begins as refuge in an isolated estate becomes a tense test of nerve, ingenuity, and survival against an unnervingly sophisticated host. Escape presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
