Episode 167 - Crooning for Clues (Richard Diamond, Private Detective)

Down These Mean Streets (Old Time Radio Detectives)

Dick Powell is Richard Diamond, the only radio gumshoe who carries a tune along with his gun. The big screen star's talents are put to perfect use in the character of Diamond, a tough, glib ex-cop turned shamus in the Big Apple who is equally skilled with his wits and his fists and who always wraps up the caper with a song for his girlfriend. The combination of Powell's winning performance and scripts by Blake Edwards (the director behind The Pink Panther) make Diamond one of radio's very best detectives. We'll hear the private eye in "The Rene Bene Protection Case" (originally aired on NBC on October 22, 1949) and "The Statue of Kali" (originally aired on NBC on April 5, 1950).
