About this episode

Originally Aired: April 18, 1946 In Suspense #189, “The Night Reveals,” Keenan Wynn stars as Harry Jordan, an insurance investigator whose job is to uncover the causes of fires—only to discover the flames burn far too close to home. Late-night wanderings, missing matches, and a melted locket found in the ashes convince Harry that his wife Marie is an arsonist. But as paranoia mounts, the truth twists: is Marie hiding a dangerous compulsion, or is Harry himself the fire-obsessed criminal? A searing psychological drama of suspicion, denial, and the consuming lure of destruction. Cast: Keenan Wynn, Kathy Lewis Tags: Suspense, thriller, psychological, KeenanWynn, KathyLewis, thenightreveals, oldtimeradio, mystery, arson, fire, paranoia, noir, vintagecrime, 1940sradio, classicdrama, CornellWoolrich, suspensepodcast
