1:11
The original air date November fifth of nineteen forty nine, and the title
1:17
is a fine Italian hand, Get this and get it straight. Crime is
1:23
a second road, and those who travel had wind up in the gut of
1:26
the prison of the grave. It was a broken body in a quiet house,
1:30
don't play on America around at midnight, and a boy and a girl
1:33
in love running away, all because of one man's fine Italian hands. From
1:40
the pen of Layman Chandler. Our standing offer of crime fiction comes with more
1:44
famous character and the adventures are Philip Marlow now with Gerald Moore Darling as some
2:00
small all we bring you tonight's exciting story, the fine Italian hands. The
2:19
day Judge passed had been full of jarring contrast, the last of hiding hot
2:23
break, a woman dying of loneliness from an overcottage city, a man who
2:28
sacrificed everything to make a fortune and shot himself when he got it, the
2:32
messed up by products of our hot up civilization. The thought of him stayed
2:37
in my mind as I drove over the freeway to San Fernando Valley, because
2:40
the job I was on promised no change in the day's pattern of combining things
2:45
that didn't belong together. When I parssed at the corner of Magnolion van Ey's
2:49
Boulevard, I was still trying to reconcile my new client, the owner and
2:52
operator of a little amusement parts for children, with a panicky voice on the
2:55
phone that had begged me to come at once and hard the spot, a
3:00
heavy set old man moving among the stampeding merry around sallion and taking sumple tickets
3:06
like plumbs, and the sister of lapping kids rapping for brass ring. We
3:10
never changed the way when he saw me. Ha, god me you miss
3:19

4:25

4:28
That's right, that's the right. This is a girl that belongs to the
4:30
gambler, and my boys are taking an hour old find he won't be telling
4:34

5:40
business? The Angelo says, Bernardo down and bring him home. No,
5:43
no, that's no good, my Bernardo. He's too to head the strong.
5:46
No, mister Marlowe, I must have find out for some things.
5:49
I must have find out if this a girl is using my boy I sort
5:53
of play thing, or if she's really in love with him? What difference
5:57
does that make? A different? Well, if this a girl you really
6:00
love my boy, then I do anything to bring again together. Anything Now,
6:05
if this is only a game, if she played then he said,
6:09
I could see because he's a What does that mean? But oh that that
6:12
means if it goes to that's the way, that's the way it goes.
6:15
And I know what I got to do. So you find out this from
6:18
you? Please? Well, I don't know. Probably not the kind of
6:20
thing I like. Look, I know I asked you to spy on somebody
6:25
used to find out for me? Easy, I kind of talk. Is
6:30
so good with you a cineer so high I know, probably please my boys
6:35
and mama die and now but now that's all I got to link. He's
6:39
so good a boy. He should not get into trouble just for the cheaper
6:44
game of a lord. Don't you understand me? And what I knew of
6:50
Frank Stephanie had twenty to worry about without I had a channel. Didn't know
6:54
when to quit, or maybe it was deefinitely didn't know when to quit.
6:58
That fought but specific in advance stole me. Mister Angelo gave me a description
7:02
of the girl seen, but once told me that Bernardo had moved away from
7:05
home. He didn't know where, but the park closed at Tendem, that
7:10
he'd be there all night, and that was all. My first step was
7:13
to locate the dance to name Paula, so outside, I said Nichols through
7:16
a phone until I called everything from Ballet of Burlet, but got no caller,
7:20
which left only Frank Stephen's easy money move. It was a ranch house,
7:25
California, tile cut under the hill south of Ventura on a dead end,
7:29
cold sun bird. That's why I got the nod preticable window. I
7:32
wandered through the bar and passed the dice table the door at back Mark Private
7:35
and went in. I set Fido to rockpile, where the boy locked the
7:40
complexion and fawned up at me from the telephone as he talked. The wife
7:43
was a sake carry singer who they hit the wait as quietly from the thing
7:47
over again. I don't care if it takes you a week this joint.
7:50
Don't soak up no five rand shortages. You guys find it goodbye? Well,
7:56
what's on your mind? Sud I seem to remember you? Being a
7:59
noun is an no formal call. I'm just looking for an old friend.
8:01
We don't have any old friends to sit. So's that's figure. Mine's taller.
8:05
She's a dancer. I understand that. Mister Seffern knows they're quite well.
8:09
You might tell me where I can get in touch with her. So
8:11
you're a friend of Paula Baker's. Huh, yeah, that's right some way
8:15
back. Let's all touch you through. Her name's not Faker. That came
8:18
right out of thin air. And now what do you really want? They
8:20
get easy boy, He's just cagy with last names. That's all she gave
8:22
us. Jones, who's a Duncan depropment saw a credit section three hundred bucks
8:28
worth. I got this fine her references, and I want to see mister
8:31
Saffron. Oh he's not in. I'll take it up with him later.
8:33
If it was his time, you'll hear from us. I get easy on
8:35
yourself, nights. Just tell me where I can find it. Op that
8:37
door. There you got the whole city to look in and take your cry.
8:45
Hey a blushing boy. One thing more? What's your name? I
8:50
want to get a straight that's all. It wasn't a total loss. I
8:56
managed to keep the back door open, rung enough to snap off the nightclatch,
8:58
and I met the red faced man who no doubts supervised for beating Bernardo
9:01
had taken earlier. I kicked twenty of noise out of the iron steps going
9:05
down, and then I crossed the parking lot and went back against the wall
9:09
and waited. Halfway through my first cigarette. Bunker came out, got in
9:11
the car and drove away. I watched him outside, then sloked back him
9:16
quietly, located sepranz eight by twelve desks and started through it. And that's
9:20
top drawing furs. The letter with again his home ddress on it and under
9:24
had a picture one of smiling lovely clothes in front of a dance studio on
9:28
Woolshire. She wore a follows description like a snug pair of flacks and dance
9:33
instruction with a field and the fine art of hooking that I overlooked completely.
9:37
I closed the drawer and started out. When I heard someone coming, I
9:41
jammed my cigarette into the ash tray and got back against the door frame as
9:45
a cleaning woman bustled in as smoldering cigarette bus so wonderous trapped one sprouted grass.
10:00
Hey, somebody's been in here. Ill, it's quiet, baby,
10:03
shut up, and I was American? Is it a deal? Okay?
10:09
Hey, hey, y'all belong here. Mister Hey, that is you beautiful.
10:13
Let's forget we see each other. We'll come a trusted employees golden a
10:18
golden by Busworth. And if I hear one piece out of you before I
10:22
get out of here, I'll come back some day and for glue and your
10:24
soap bottles. Goodbye, baby. The DNS studio is presently gruffy my clcial
10:37
modernistic press out on Lucia Boulevard. Dowitsch pop from old fashioned receptionists inside,
10:41
we'll signed me up express sympathy over my rusty Rumber and assured me that since
10:46
I've heard so much about her, I could have Paula, that is Miss
10:50
Calvin, while on Judy is my instructors. If I'd only be so kind,
10:54
it's to step this way. So I am stept this way into a
10:58
ballroom with a like Bernie's fast looked as deep as the night sky, and
11:01
after a death hand signal from the receptionist, all A Calvin glided taught us.
11:07
Introductions were made how do you do? And suddenly the room was filled
11:11
with a soft speed of a Rumber band and we were off rusby another would
11:16
have been fun if I having that work to do. That's what it was.
11:18
Tough. You're doing, beautiful mismlw. Don't loosen us. No,
11:24
I'll try. I'm glad I drew you with my instructor, Miss Calvin.
11:28
Bernie said you were tough, told me to insist on you and accept no
11:33
substitution. Nnie. Uh huh? Usual you remember him, don't you?
11:39
Good? Yes, of course I remember who nice sky Bernie. Good kids,
11:43
So keep your feed a little closer together, mister Marlin, don't be
11:48
afraid to use your knees, you know, Baby, Bernie's got everything well,
11:54
raise even a temper, just to keep life interesting, right, Father,
12:01
I thanks a lot of you. That's me. Hey, I'm talking
12:05
to you. The next question I suppose is how did I feel about me?
12:09
Yeah? Now it's your turn to loosen up and relax. Baby.
12:13
I resent the checked up on by anybody. When I want Bernie Dangelo to
12:18
know how I feel, I'll tell him. And when I want Frank Staffman
12:22
to know, I'll tell him too. You came here tonight, so roomb
12:26
the lesson, and I am old mother Hubbard. Okay, Mother Hubbard.
12:31
I want to find out one thing. Are you in love with Bernide Angelo?
12:35
That's nobody's business but mine, sir. I could be real wrong about
12:39
that, baby, then it's my mistake, and I'll make it all by
12:41
myself. Have you seen Bernie Knight? No? I haven't. And that's
12:46
all the conversation you get me. You can have the rest of your roombers
12:50
who wanted no thanks, I'll see you around, Paula. And that's that
13:03
for finding what my client wanted was a thought of Saffron. I stopped and
13:07
called a gambling time, but he was still out, so I drove up
13:11
in the cold Water Canyon a number eighty one hundred, the first real hint
13:15
that something was wrong, with a cussion dangling at a crazy angle over one
13:18
of the lighted windows next to it, with the front door handing six inches
13:22
open and inside the legs of an overturned table was sticking up in the air,
13:26
and then pieces of a broken lamp. Whitter he was for that was
13:31
only the beginning. I nudged the door open, then stepped in. It
13:35
was a mess. I saw his feet first and behind the couch, so
13:41
he took one glance at his face. Frank Saffron has been literally beaten the
13:46
desk by a pair of very fast, very deadly fist. Don't move one
13:50
kinch jocko. So I take three guesses, a turnaround and look Bernardo with
13:56
guns. Oh, I got it all right. It was his automatic till
14:00
him at forty five, and I'll use it if I have to. Who
14:03
are you name? Smallow? When it Stappen's boys, you got a real
14:07
talent for being wrong, haven't your kid? Who are you? A private
14:09
detective hired by one Ambrogio D'Angelo Papa yeah, because he was worried sick about
14:15
his boy. But I told him to stay out of it. I told
14:18
him it was my man. You did a nice thorough job of handling it.
14:22
You did this, didn't you. Yeah, Saffron had it coming to
14:24
him. I was beat up to that on his orders. I came here
14:28
to pay him back, but I didn't intend to kill him for what to
14:30
stick around for. I didn't stay around me like he's been dead over an
14:31
hour. I left and like I was going, and I came back just
14:33
a few minutes. Yeah, yeah, I know found out he was dead.
14:37
Huh. Yeah, I guess I better call it. I guess you
14:39
better stand still. If you're really working to my old man, if you'll
14:43
really want to help him, the best thing you can do is to get
14:46
out of here and shut up about this until tomorrow morning. I don't work
14:48
that way, kid. I'm gonna call your old man and the police,
14:52
and we're gonna sit here until I show up. You won't give me a
14:56
break, not that kind. If you run, you haven't got a chance.
15:01
We'll just have to see about that. I'm sorry to turned out this
15:03
way, but it didn't I got a lot of things to do. So
15:07
take your ethics, swallow and sleep on them. Do come back in just
15:24
a moment the second act of Philip Mallow, but first with thousands of dollars
15:28
of wonderful prizes. Thin it again is fun for the whole family to play.
15:31
Make a date to listen over most of these CBS stations every Saturday night.
15:37
Now with our star Gerald Moore, we returned to the second act of
15:41
Philip Marlow and tonight's story the Fine Italian Hand. I spreashed some water on
15:56
my face and wabble over it with telephone that was stilled across the flaw and
16:00
Frank Steppern's broken body. It was too late to do anything more constructive than
16:03
call my client and or he heard it from the police, tell him what
16:07
his boy Bernado is enough to the kind of job, and I give an
16:11
alas and I too figure out of So when I die the number and got
16:14
my lands, I was glad. You know, it didn't quite figure that
16:17
the end of the Angelo shouldn't be in now. There was absolutely nothing to
16:21
do but call the police. Sawyer get away from that phone, go pay
16:25
attention to a man who just took into the room, A man with a
16:27
red face who also held a gun in hand. Oh well the departments,
16:32
so addictis that's how he gets around? There is justice, Frank, last
16:36
name was Jones. Two, you're over working a bum joke. Also,
16:38
I didn't do this, and who did? And how do you figure in
16:41
around here and over at the club? Come on, smart gallet's level first?
16:45
Who are you? The name Mallow? And the trade private detective hired
16:48
by who? Tomorrow? Let's not pulltisse who you're working for? A mallow?
16:52
Quiet old guy namdi Angelo. There's nothing worse than running America around for
16:56
kids, you know? Quiet little game? And yeah, yeah that must
17:02
be the punk's old man, huh, which means that the kid Bernie must
17:04
have done this right, Yeah he did it, but only after he got
17:07
cut up this afternoon by the lake. Mister Saffron here all representative. That's
17:11
not me, roverboy. I never messed in Frank's private life anymore, and
17:15
I could help, which means what did I take Bernie DeAngelo one night to
17:18
a flat he has over on Lancash from near Moore Park. Fight on Lancash
17:21
and what numbers? I don't know? The first houthelphic corner of Moor Park
17:25
on the south side. He just moved in. But what's the difference was
17:27
Now, don't move Morrow, or I'll knock you flatter in that handkerchief?
17:32
What handkerchief? That one by the body? Oh yeah, well the initial
17:38
the apostasy as the Angelo that does it? Okay? But to put away
17:45
the house, I'll leave quietly. So what I crack at that fight in
17:48
lancash from near Moore Parks outside? Why but if the kids kill iron,
17:51
I could stop him without calling a cop and then we right on into losing
17:55
his grip altogether, which would mean lots of firepower and the kid sooner or
17:57
later did and the gutter. What's wrong with that? A couple of things,
18:00
but in particular what it might do to yeh, yeah, I know.
18:03
It's a nice old guy who runs a merry go round for kids.
18:07
Nuts. So long, sucker, howitt's his lord beat it before I start
18:11
crying. Bernie d'angelo's spun on Lancasham turned out to be second floor rear and
18:22
all that went with it, from the so south Land lady to the very
18:25
public place home with a faint line of naked unsauceded light bulbs. The week
18:29
to disturb the shadows the carda. But of course the unhappy marriage of a
18:33
half a dozen distinct cooking odors sinking out of the trenches. There as many
18:36
rooms where cooking was sickly hibited. Bernie had Room nine at the end of
18:41
the L shaped hall, And when I turned and sought it for a door,
18:44
I was glad to see yellow light oozing out of the cracks. And
18:47
they hear a tiny phonograph making nuts so grand grand opera, and I knocked
18:52
at it with a barrel of my thirty eight. Yeah, who is it?
18:56
Conn of butt? I turn that phonograph down. We can't hear us.
19:00
I'll take out here, okay, I'll take care of it. Goodbye.
19:03
I tell fast Junior to take care of it now. I won't have
19:04
to come out here again. It'll make me feel nasty. Does that come
19:07
across? Yeah, real curent horr. Yeah, well, don't get frank
19:11
all the way. Quit, But you w with me conversation for a start.
19:18
I turn that thing off. We're gonna talk, Bernie. What'll my
19:25
old man again? That's a waste for time. What sun is to fallow?
19:26
You know that, And I also know you'll never get any place running.
19:30
Let's reply, real heart, Oh fine, madame? Was younger?
19:34
It over there? Yeah? If you please miss color? How stupid did
19:40
you think we were morlow? Or you've forgotten all about Pola here? No,
19:42
I hadn't forgotten. I just figured she might be on the other side,
19:45
and you'll figured it wrong, because there's never been any other side,
19:48
never been anybody for Burnie from the moment we missed, which is why you
19:51
kept dating Frank Staffron, which is exactly why I kept dating Frank Saffron.
19:53
I didn't want any jealous and gunning for Bernie. I didn't want trouble.
19:57
Now that you got it, you don't want to let it go. What
20:00
do you mean, mallow, Yeah, I mean if you turn yourself in
20:02
now tonight, that's still a chance to get off easy. Yeah, all
20:06
right, but even then the lonely bee Man swaughter prison for a few years.
20:10
This way, it's got to be worse hiding feet from here on out
20:12
for both of you, right up to the end, no matter when that
20:15
is maybe long, maybe's Bernie. I don't want you riding away in jail
20:18
and me riding away on the outside because you accidentally kill Frank Stapling well,
20:22
come on, Bernie, let's get out in here, put in this spot
20:26
here. Yeah, yeah, sure. Look Marlow, if if you do
20:30
go back to Pop, tell him I wish it had been different for you.
20:34
Why they can eat his heart out a little more. No, dice,
20:38
kid, shut that the sight of you is making me sick. Okay,
20:42
fella, shut it in and shut it seem best. Had been swinging
20:55
wild, hoping that the lucky punch, no matter how low, would connect
20:56
and Johns and tents back into the kids played differently, And as I started
21:02
to kick the lock on the closet door, I knew now that Bernie the
21:04
Angelous head at me and probably his father, along with the rest of the
21:07
world, and it wouldn't give him an even break than all. It was
21:11
the kind of thing that may be mad enough to matter Handsomer fight over the
21:22
girl, or don't you like the way the funnytures the rain twitch may thee
21:26
Well you get too upset about this land lady, I'll cut in on something
21:30
minute after I get to your phone. Every cup in town is going to
21:33
be looking for a star border because tonight Bernie the Angelo killed a man.
21:36
Yeah, it's got nothing to do with the suff you wrest, Come on
21:37
handful, let's settle up. There's one splinter door, a lot of little
21:44
pieces that used to be a base, that broken box over there with them
21:48
papers and it ain't mins. It's no charge. Okay, how much?
21:52
How much do you want? How much? Well? Twenty five? It's
22:00
thirty with the base thirty bucks in all handsome? Is it? What's the
22:06
staring at? Oh? This sip the paper here fell out of the bot.
22:11
He sowed a lot of other papers. Can't hurt you so many?
22:14
I repeat, what's the fuck? Because it is a receipt, Grannie,
22:17
from of all places of the partments to a receipt for a pleasant to live
22:18
it a long time ago. Yeah, it's gotta be all right, Grannie.
22:23
Here thirty you said, h thirty five, And if I'm right,
22:27
sweetheart, I'll send you another vase come Christmas. I'll forget what I said
22:30
about the phone and Bernie's being a killer because the mistake made but made all
22:33
the way around. What kind of mistake handsome? A big one? Abuse?
22:37
And I can't be more specific mess until I find the all limits of
22:40
the angelo. Good night, Grannie, by midnight the San Fernando valley has
22:51
always cone to sleep. So I covered the five miles back to the amusement
22:55
parking close was twenty minutes, worrying all the way that even my hunch was
22:57
wrong and I was heading no place, or that it was right and I
23:00
was too late to keep murder from happening again. When I was out of
23:03
my car and moving quietly in between the drop machines and stuff being gay bobbing
23:07
animals, when the kids were gone, I knew that I could quit worrying
23:11
all together. Becau was standing in her head in close to the merry ground
23:15
with mister Ambrosio the Angelo opposite him, holding a gun that I had already
23:18
seen once tonight. It was Loute Bunker the man. I figured it killed
23:22
Frank Stephan And when I was winning a dozen hours of my play stuff right
23:26
on turn around, why you can hit me over the back of the head
23:30
and kill me? Luck he was accident. I found the dock when I
23:34
work on the Merry go round. Huh, pretty smart guy, mister,
23:37
that's the way I No, I'm broking the angelos who setify that you need
23:42
a Frank Apone. No, my point for up. Nobody told you to
23:48
go picking in the windows and to play drop the hanky when you went inside
23:51
to make sure that I fell fight taffering with all your own ideas. Yeah,
23:53
pretty and pop it bunker, mister old guitar, buttablelimit, it's about
24:00
to look how to look out? He's hiding over there on the Merry go
24:03
round? All right, I know I know how to get him out to
24:06
work. We there, get on you all right, it's all right,
24:10
that's okay. Tomorrow, just to stretch, don't worry about me, just
24:12
to get you ready for buncle, because I'm going to go over there next
24:15
to this switch. He can to hide no more, mister Morrow. I'm
24:18
going to start to the merry go round and make him joy of all round.
24:22
I go. Now, why are you save me? Tomorrow? Is
24:30
the road to stop me? Pressure up Morrow? Not a white bunker.
24:36
You want to make it the white hospital? Fill in the blank flat?
24:38
Come on? Why did you kills happened? Come on? Okay? I
24:41
dipped into the chill at the club and dummied up the books to cover he
24:45
was gonna find out about it, so I went to this place to get
24:47
him. When he got the first time, Yeah, they had a fish
24:49
fight and after he left, I went in there and to finish him off
24:52
with your feet. I see that. I went there miss tomorrow because I
24:56
was worried about Bernardo. I had to do com How did you know that
25:00
the angel was there? Buck, I keep talking. I heard a noise
25:04
when I was inside. Sure less than double back he was inside then.
25:10
But I only knew that there was an old man. I didn't know who
25:11
he was. And until later when I came back a second time, when
25:14
you were there and saw that handkerchief, I hadn't been there before. Then,
25:18
when you talk about the old man here, I all, I figured
25:21
that the Angelo initials could fit him to go. That's my boys go around
25:33
the girls with him. They didn't run away. They didn't run away.
25:41
That's patent to the angel. Welcome your boy at all? Well, mister
26:00
Marlowe, is they're gonna be tomorrow morning before the police demander finish your talking
26:04
with the mic boy and Paula. That's right, and my after that everything
26:08
okay, okay, just to because you talk is smart to do both of
26:14
them at the Bernado's plasters to because of what did you say? Well,
26:18
that's what they were smart enough to do with the Angelo. I don't think
26:22
it was easy for him to change their minds. Come back to what could
26:23
have been prison. No, I guess or not. My thoughts are to
26:27
kind of you that there won't be no prison and it won't be a funeral
26:32
for me. You know it's you know, that's what the that's what I
26:36
don't understand the mister Marlow, why when you tell the police Amanders that you
26:40
know where to come and find a new bunker at the my place. Because
26:42
if a depossumlu story receipts, I'd get all of mik saft I can off
26:48
h I get off you here please? Alright? Well the receipt was by
26:52
handkerchiefs monogram da mister Angelo, always woulda be sent to you? Is a
26:56
gift from your son? That's put the idea in my mind. Is a
26:59
handkerchief? If I saw a Frank Saprans could be yours, nothing out of
27:02
Oh of course shesus are well, mister Morlow, Well are whatever you good
27:10
to friends? Now I say goodbye. Hey, wait a minute, wait
27:14
a minute, process, it's mine's from your place. I don't mind driving
27:17
your home. Oh no, that's all right, because that's all right.
27:19
I I used to wanna go round the corner. I was. I know
27:23
the friend of mine is to beth O I I wanted to tell her him
27:27
all about that the angelus a good the luck thank you, just the family,
27:33
mister marlow I live her there. See. I watched him walk away,
27:42
a quiet old man in a quiet empty street, A grateful old man
27:48
who at three o'clock in the morning, I had to find a friend and
27:52
tell him all about the the ANGELA good luck. D When he was around
27:57
the corner and out of sight, I found myself wondering who the old friend
28:03
could be. Seven minutes later, when I had driven as far as the
28:06
corner and could see which waves and brush the end or gun, I knew
28:11
it was less than half a block of waves, the familiar Gothic architecture stained
28:19
black, the people witching to the sky, and yeah, his old friend.
28:52
The Adventures of Philip Marlowe bringing you Raymond Chander's most famous character, star
28:56
Gerald Moore and I, produced and directed by Norman mcdonne. Script is by
29:00
Robert Mitchell and gene Leavitt. Featured in the cast were Georgia Ellis, Jaya
29:04
Velo called the bar Bonnie Phillip and Morrison and Vivi Jennas. The special music
29:10
is composed and conducted by Richard Lan. Be sure and be with us next
29:18
week when Philopolo says, this time, I took a beating from mcclevy Chinese,
29:22
ran into a twisted corps in an alley and watched this strike on the
29:26
railroad tracks, all because of an open toad ban Jols, which was jinxed
29:32
from the start. Welcome back, Uh. This was another great episode of
29:52
the Adventures of Philip Marlowe and I like the ending there. There always seems
29:57
they always seem to want to put in something that's profound or uplifting, and
30:03
usually it's pretty good. This episode's no exception. Well, I'm going to
30:10
address something that I have mentioned in a couple other programs. We did it,
30:15
I think on the last episode of Man from Homicide and last week's episode
30:18
of Nick Carter, and that is that will soon be doing the Ellery Queen
30:25
Radio series. Classic Ellery Queen Radio had a feature with the Armchair Detectives where
30:36
people would listen to the first part of the broadcast and would offer their opinion
30:41
on who did it before the reveal of the actual killer. By Ellery Queen.
30:45
However, a lot of programs have this portion of the show missing.
30:49
There were a few non Ellery Queen programs where this wasn't included or it's been
30:55
edited out, and others like Armed forces radio services typically have those parts edit
31:02
it out. So I want to have thought that it would be a great
31:07
idea to see if we could recreate these missing segments with actual listeners. Basically
31:17
answer a couple questions about yourself and what you do, and then you take
31:22
a guess at who done it, and we would record this by some sort
31:26
of conference call. And I'd like to ask a couple of things. First,
31:30
we would need probably a good number of listeners who would be willing to
31:34
be armchair detectives. And two, if you're not interested, I'd like to
31:38
hear what you think about the idea. Send me your thoughts of box thirteen
31:44
at Great Detectives dot net. Now we turn to a listener comments and feedback,
31:49
and we have one from Brian who comments regarding men from homicide and in
31:55
particular the Donald Shellbarger murder. Wow, this show is way over the top,
32:00
but it was enjoyable. I kept wondering if a cop in those days
32:04
would really get away with half the stuff he did. Well. I think
32:10
it really would probably depend on the police department, because there are some departments
32:17
where you might be able to get away with more than others. But in
32:23
general, this probably would not be recommended practices in a modern police department of
32:31
the early nineteen fifties, which is why it landed on Tuesday instead of on
32:37
Saturday, where we would air a kind of procedural show, because this is,
32:43
as you say, pretty far away from what most policemen would do.
32:47
But thanks so much for the comment, Brian, and that will do it
32:51
for today. Join us tomorrow for Nick Carter, and then next Wednesday,
32:57
be sure and listen for another apples of the Adventures of Philip Marlowe. In
