SUSPENSE-*®^ limits PRODUCER STAUNCHES FLOW OF BLOOD AND TONES DOWN SHOW’S THUNDER A FTER YEARS of wholesale blood- . letting, Suspense has apparently decided to apply a tourniquet. Pro¬ ducer Martin Manulis, who took over after the show had shed gallons of gore, has revamped the program’s point of view. “The public is becoming surfeited with outlandish crime,” theorizes Manulis. “B movies and early tele¬ vision thrived on gangland stories, but now the viewer has to make some sort of personal identification with what he’s watching or there’s no im¬ pact. We’ve moved away from horror and unnecessary violence because there’s been a reaction against it. In general, an audience won’t accept in a living room what it will in a movie house. So we’ve had to adjust.” Room service in jail was lew idea in Suspense Irama with Joseph Weis- nan and Irene Cowan.
