Suspense

The Black Prophet (5x28)

: 17, 1953

Marking his fifth of six appearances on Suspense, Boris Karloff plays the starring role of Grigori Rasputin, the famed historical figure who reportedly gained a reputation as a holy man with healing and prophetical powers. What results from his reputation proves to be his downfall. In true Suspense tradition, Karloff plays the role much like his screen persona as an actor in creepy mystery movies.
