“Enemy to those who make him an enemy...Friend to those who have no friend!” That’s Boston Blackie, safecracker turned crime fighter and a long-running favorite with fans of straight-ahead detective fiction. Beginning in 1945, Broadway actor Richard Kollmar starred in a series of 220 syndicated episodes of this popular series, costarring Maurice Tarplin as Inspector Faraday and Jan Minor as girlfriend Mary Wesley. There’s no tormented noir drama here, no deep layers of introspection, just good old-fashioned crime solving fun. And you can enjoy the clean, crisp sound of twenty fully restored episodes in this collection from Radio Archives - ten full hours of light-hearted detective action and adventure, transferred directly from original transcription disks.
