Old Time radio

Old Time Radio Drama: the effect of which is to make you think of Nero Wolfe while watching Maltese Falcon, although not in any way that's good: Sidney Greenstreet is Nero Wolfe - somewhat humorous and brilliant, of course - private detective; Sidney Greenstreet in Maltese Falcon is the villain. I couldn't watch "Maltese" - it freaked me out too much because Greenstreet's voice was so distinctive.

"Maltese" was 10 years before Nero Wolfe, so the public didn't have this confusing situation.

The Shadow
Apparently, women weren't supposed to see men in short sleeves. One man just apologized when Margo Lane saw him like that.

Oh, and the poisonous spider is always a Black Widow.

... uh-oh: Margo Lane has just walked in to another box of pain.

I missed Old Time radio this week and when I realized it, I thought "oh, I'll find out if anything was super thrilling when Likethebeer posts"!

Hee-heee.

Oh, and "Suspense" had this story about a man who had $250,000 buried near a culvert, sent to prison, and got out after the transfer bus got into an accident.

Only problem: he still has his handcuffs on. The rest of the show was about this man walking to his money with the handcuffs on, trying to get them off. And I kept thinking, "pick the lock, dude!"
