Escape was radio’s leading anthology series of high adventure, airing on CBS from July 7, 1947 to September 25, 1954. Since the program did not have a regular sponsor like Suspense, it was subjected to frequent schedule shifts and lower production budgets, although Richfield Oil signed on as a sponsor for five months in 1950.
Despite these problems, Escape enthralled many listeners during its seven-year run. The series’ well-remembered opening combined Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain with this introduction, as intoned by Paul Frees and William Conrad:
- “Tired of the everyday routine? Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you… Escape!” wiki
