Boston Blackie, Old Time Radio - Classic Noir

The Boston Blackie radio series, also starring Morris, began June 23, 1944, on NBC as a summer replacement for The Amos 'n' Andy Show. Sponsored by Rinso, the series continued until September 15 of that year. Unlike the concurrent films, Blackie had a steady romantic interest in the radio show: Lesley Woods appeared as Blackie's girlfriend Mary Wesley. Harlow Wilcox was the show's announcer.
On April 11, 1945, Richard Kollmar took over the title role in a radio series syndicated by Frederic W. Ziv to Mutual and other network outlets. Over 200 episodes of this series were produced between 1944 and October 25, 1950. Other sponsors included Lifebuoy Soap, Champagne Velvet beer, and R&H beer.
While investigating mysteries, Blackie invariably encountered harebrained Police Inspector Farraday (Maurice Tarplin) and always solved the mystery to Farraday's amazement. Initially, friction surfaced in the relationship between Blackie and Farraday, but as the series continued, Farraday recognized Blackie's talents and requested assistance. Blackie dated Mary Wesley (Jan Miner), and for the first half of the series, his best pal Shorty was always on hand. The humorless Farraday was on the receiving end of Blackie's bad puns and word play.
Thank you, for choosing this channel to scratch your entertainment itch. If I may be so crude in saying. I do ask at least 1 task of you and that is to gently touch the like button on whatever device that you find yourself using. The 2nd will
depend on you. What's the possible 2nd-Schlote* that I ask from you? That is, to determine whether or not you have Subscribed and then act accordingly. IF and only if you haven't already done so.
(* is just another way of using common sense)
All that just to ask you to do something that could've been done in 4 words. Kind of like what Hollywood does when they have no real story to build a movie on or around. They then just try to make up for this with window dressing and very little substance. If kept you long enough. Until next time, later. 🫡
