Widmark recorded 13 episodes of radio drama (well, melodrama) for Suspense! one of which has unfortunately been lost. It's not easy to search for episodes that you particularly want, so these are the numbers.
Rope - missing episode (sadly)
Too hot to live - 378 (an ex-soldier goes on the run - barefoot - when his lover is found dead.)
Tell you why I shouldn't die - 409 (A cheating friend explains to his friend why he double-crossed him and why the friend shouldn't kill him).
The hunting of Bob Lee - 422 (Grim Western manhunt)
A Murderous Revision (1951) - 423 (Excellent murder story set in a radio drama show where the scriptwriter takes his job rather too literally).
Track of the Cat - 433 (Hunting a legendary big cat amongst the snowy wastes with a bit of Indian magic thrown in).
Mate Bram - 441 (Unresolved murder mystery aboard ship, apparently a true story. Widmark is the eponymous First Mate, a man with a troubled past. Includes his participation in an Autolight advert afterwards.)
How long is the night - 453 (A soldier finds himself abandoned on a radioactive island and starts hearing things).
The Spencer Brothers - 468
Othello part 1 - 482
Othello part 2 - 483
A message for Garcia - 488
The card game - 519 (A compulsive two-bit gambler is convinced he can make it big and make a happy family life for himself and his heavily pregnant wife).
