Key Largo - Old Time Radio Suspense
Episode 11
Friday, 3 April, 2026
There's a storm brewing this week on The Shiver Show, as Mary and Greg brace for the storm, and hunker down in the tense, claustrophobic world of Key Largo. This radio adaption for the Lux Radio Theatre, first broadcast on CBS in 1949, following the 1948 noir film classic.At the centre is the unforgettable Edward G. Robinson, reprising his role as gangster Johnny Rocco—a man as dangerous as the hurricane bearing down on the Florida Keys.He’s joined by Claire Trevor, also returning as Gaye Dawn, the tragic, alcohol-soaked torch singer—a performance that won her an Academy Award in the film. Edmond O’Brien steps into the role of reluctant hero Frank McLeod (originally played by Humphrey Bogart). Mary and Greg explore the story’s fascinating evolution—from Maxwell Anderson’s 1939 Broadway play (written in blank verse!) to its transformation into a tightly wound wartime noir set against the backdrop of a raging hurricane, which seems like a character itself. With gangsters, guns, and rising tension, Key Largo is a masterclass in atmosphere and character. So batten down the hatches because when the storm hits, it's going to be a bumpy night.Thank you for listening!
