In Suspense #132, “My Wife Geraldine,” Edward G. Robinson stars as Mr. Graham—a mild-mannered bachelor whose imaginary wife, Geraldine, becomes a full-blown presence in his life and in the minds of everyone around him. When a series of innocent lies about his marital bliss snowball into a web of suspicion, Graham finds himself accused of being the notorious “Black Widower,” a serial wife-killer. As reality blurs and the truth about Geraldine is revealed, the story builds to a remarkable and bittersweet twist—where love, fantasy, and identity collide in a gentle, suspenseful comedy of errors. A unique psychological mystery from the golden age of radio.
