Thanks

This was the best episode in the whole series.

You can see the smile on the chauffeur’s face when he meets Mrs Rassmusen. This is one of the best Johnny Dollar episodes and that’s saying a lot.

A brilliant episodes. Acting, writing, direction. 7 decades old and yet as heartfelt as the days it was originally broadcast

This show is just the best. I'm glad that those of us who weren't around back then have them to listen to now.

Wow what a beautiful story.

This is a wonderful episode. Simply perfect.

Damn! This is the 5th time around and I still cry at this one. Jeese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This one got me good.

Absolutely the best episode I have ever heard

Thank you for all the "Johnny Dollar" postings. This one was one of the exceptional ones. 👌

I cried! Fabulous episode!

Even when I scroll down, whenever I see "The Rasmussen Matter" in my feed, I automatically smile. For ALL the YTJD episodes that I've listened to...which has been a LOT...rivaled only by "The Five Down Matter" as being the best of the single episodes, and is my favorite by far!

Wow ! my third time through and again i bawled my eyes out . good tears for sure . this is my favorite Johny Dollar story . such a happy ending ❤❤❤❤❤❤

That was a good one . And yes , I cried at the end 😊good tears . It has. A Great ending 👍🏼

Bob and Virginia worked very well together, this one's story is so heartfelt and wholesome compared to many other episodes. *spoilers* I thought forsure she was going to be in it for the insurance. What writing tho! 👏 bravo

To quote the great philosopher Charlene Darling, "This one makes me cry!"

I wouldn't have thought that a 60-year radio program could make me cry; the ending did JUST that! I know that other actors played the title character, but Bob Bailey is "TRULY"...Johnny Dollar!

If there was ever a "Prodigal Daughter" story, this would definitely be it. Hope this episode was nominated or won whatever the equivalent of an Emmy award would be for radio dramas. Acting was superb, especially the actress portraying Laura. Bob Bailey, as we fans know, was in a class all by himself. He was the best Johnny Dollar by far.

The most beautiful tale of the series I think. I challenge anyone not to be moved by this touching account, but then I guess I'm just a big sensitive lush. Most enjoyable.Sob Sob.

After the Bob Bailey / Johnny Dollar series changed formats from five 15 minute weekday installments to a single half hour weekly episode, there wouldn't be much time for utilizing the kind of character development that the 5-parters were noted for. But this half hour episode is one of the closest things to the 5-parters, in terms of being full of characters you could care about and the kind of "sensitivity" that Bob Bailey embued as Johnny Dollar.

This episode was quite touching! Semper Fi

My favorite Johnny. Redemption is a beautiful thing 💙💙💙

This is one of my favorite Johnny Dollar episodes. And yep, me too, I cried at the end. Damn good show and Bob Baily is the one and only Johnny Dollar. And this is my 2nd time around with all the Bob Baily JD episodes.

The best Johnny dollar

Nice heartfelt one.

A good one.

I’m not sentimental I don’t cry at movies and I didn’t with this but this was such a great story and the super sappy ending works. Best OTR drama with a ridiculously out of date premise. Bob Bailey was awesome

I agree with one of your subscriber. Thank you for putting this on KZfaq !!

So sweet. This is a story epitomizing grace and pure love.

Talk about tears flowing from my eyes. This piece moved me much! Outstanding program! Semper Fi

Gosh, I listen to these for their camp value, but this one actually made me cry. I wasn't expecting that. I was raised in a very rough home which I ran from at 17. I was very poor for a very long time. I had to struggle to survive and often had to navigate the balance between predators and homelessness. I really don't think I knew what love is until I met my husband when I was 41. He was poor when we fell in love and married, but he's since become quite successful and we have a lovely, secure, peaceful home. I don't have to struggle anymore. We've been together 12 years today, the anniversary of the day we met. This episode was just perfect for this day.

Very emotional play. In a good way. Cost of this post $0.0. Yours truly, Roscoe Arbuckle.

As many times as I've listened to this episode I cry Every. Single. Time.

No ad. PERFECT.

i cried like a baby!

Wow, you got me. Nearly moved to tears. I love Johnny Dollar, but they usually don't hit me in quite this way. Another great episode. Johnny is such a good boy. Our secret, lol.

What a great story. Loved it!

My favorite so far. The writing and acting are superb.

Everything about this episode was so well done…but it was a master class by Virginia Gregg. Could have been schmaltz in lesser hands.

That one was so sweet. 😢😊

Man this one had me 😢 leaking.

My god, these Bob Bailey Johnny Dollar radio programs eclipse any TV or film productions ever made, even hearing them for the third or tenth time they are the best entertainment ever made. If some Hollywood mogul could figure out how to turn them into film they could make a mint. Only problem, there was only Bob Bailey. So glad he lived.

"All who seek love shall find it."

Tear jerker!

Damn...these episodes are literature.

Reading the comments below, my heart was touched just knowing there are other people that appreciate OTR and Bob Bailey as JD. Thank you all for taking the time to post your comments and share your thoughts. Sometimes I think I was born to late as these shows were way before my time. However how I got into these shows was through CBSRMT with EG Marshal. From there I dove into shows like suspense, The Whistler, Sam Spade, our miss Brooks and of course YTJD. The great Gildersleeve Fiber McGee and Molly. The list goes on of course. These shows are so much better than most any tv shows. Sorry about rambling but good to know you guys

🥹🥹🥹great episode ❤️

four fingers of sour mash ? that is a alot of booze 😎. kinda like a three finger Lid 😁

Is it just me or did Stoffer, the chauffer sound like Brock Peters?

Based on Old Time Radio Researchers Group, this is Episode 515, not 517

Only radio show that made this old guy cry

Being a subscriber to Sirius XM I got introduced to ‘Johnny Dollar’. Since then I just can’t get enough of this wonderful show.
