Robert Morse

From CBS Radio Mystery Theater, this is The Trouble with Murder, episode 147, first broadcast on the CBS Radio Network, September 12, 1974.

Robert Morse, Bryna Rayburn, Evie Juster, Jackson Beck, and Ian Martin are featured in a drama written by Ian Martin and directed by Hyman Brown.

And now, we return to the original broadcast.

So now I'm a member of Dallas International Bank's bonus checking plan?

Just a torso, I call the rest.

She didn't have any head.

Our mystery drama, The Trouble with Murder, was written especially for the Mystery Theater by Ian Martin and stars Robert Morse.

It is sponsored in part by Anheuser-Busch Incorporated, Brewers of Budweiser, and Buick Motor Division.

Compared to the musical, it really upsets me in a lot of ways.

However, Robert Morse is so good.

it's like you can't like there's no way they could cast anybody else in that music in that exactly like not while he's still like able to do it like honestly he probably could have done it in the 90s um

This wasn't a sort of Dear Evan Hansen situation.

won a Tony.

Yeah.

The two acting Tony winners from this show were Robert Morse and Charles Nelson Reilly.

And I guess Charles Nelson Reilly was older and that's why they wanted to recast him.

Yes.

Robert Morse played Santa Claus.

Surprise, this is a Christmas movie.

And he was Howler in Pound Puppies, 1986.

It is particularly gratifying to acknowledge the continued financial support my investors have offered, and I am determined, knowing Bob Preston's desire to portray Villa, to justify their faith by presenting an entirely reconceived production.

Had Preston come in, he surely would have been nominated for a Tony Award, but would, uh, he most likely would have lost to Robert Morse, uh, for How to Succeed.

Um, or maybe he t- would have tied with him.

Dubay and Carr would have most likely gotten a Best Score nomination, which I think would have knocked out Richard Adler's Kwamina score.

Oh, that is Bert Cooper.

That's Robert Morse.

That's right, Robert Morse.

From the original Broadway cast album of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

I love this.
