Boston Blackie Old Time Radio

30 minute detective show

Bing Crosby

Boston Blackie cast of 1950s tv show

“enemy to those who make him an enemy, friend to those who have no friends”

Boston Blackie was a jailbird, but he got out and has gone legit. Well, sort of legit anyway. He is on the right side of the law, but just barely. Now he is a private detective with a fondness for the quick quip or the quick upper right. His intelligence was sharply contrasted with the idiocy of the police department, led by Inspector Faraday.

Boston Blackie started in silent movies, then a series of (at best) B movies, starting with “Meet Boston Blackie” in 1941, from there he moved to radio in 1944, and then onto television. The role of Boston was played on the radio by Chester Morris, who also starred in the movies. Later Richard Kollmar played the part. This is one of the lighter private detective shows, somewhere between a kid show and for adults, put right smack in the middle of fun. One critic referred to it as a ‘guilty pleasure’. While it may not be great radio it can be a lot of fun.
