Thank you to Keara who suggested that we listen to this episode of Suspense entitled “To Find Help,” featuring Ethel Barrymore and Gene Kelly. A woman hires a young man to clean her house, but soon discovers something strange and threatening about his behavior. Will she be able to survive his visit to her home? Did anyone mention how strong Gene Kelly’s hands are? Is there more to the ending than just a clean house? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think:
I never thought I’d be creeped out by Gene Kelley.
I wouldn’t sing in the rain with that guy.
Great radio show, fascinating discussion. I definitely took the ending to be ominous, with the focus on his “strong hands” (and the unspoken trope of psychopaths having superhuman strength).
