Down These Mean Streets (Old Time Radio Detectives)

Episode 256 - Hard-Boiled Howard (Sam Spade & Burns and Allen)

26 Nov 2017

Description

We tip our fedora to Howard Duff in honor of the star's November 24th birthday. To celebrate, we'll hear him in his signature role as Dashiell Hammett's famous private detective Sam Spade. With his wry humor and unique take on the material, Duff as Spade gave us one of the best gumshoes of the era. We'll hear him in two episodes of The Adventures of Sam Spade: "The Bow Window Caper" (originally aired on CBS on November 9, 1947) and "The Stopped Watch Caper" (originally aired on CBS on April 10, 1949). Finally, Sam gets his craziest caper ever when he meets Gracie Allen in a comedy episode from February 10, 1949.
