Everybody Does It

Critic William Crawford, divorced from his actress wife Margaret Constant, learns she is going to star in a new production of Joan of Arc. He warns he will pan her performance, no matter how well she acts; he doesn’t think it is a suitable role for her. True to his word, Crawford writes a scathing review. An angry Margaret storms into his apartment and threatens to kill him with a letter opener, but she can’t go through with it. Later, however, Crawford is found murdered, and Margaret is accused of the crime.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
