Episode 85 - Powell on Patrol (Rogue's Gallery & Richard Diamond)

Dick Powell transformed his career with his dynamic performance as Philip Marlowe and he left his days as a baby-faced crooner behind. To celebrate his birthday, we'll hear Powell in two of his performances as hard-boiled but glib gumshoes. First he stars as Richard Rogue in "Lady with a Gun" from Rogue's Gallery , originally aired on NBC on June 30, 1946. Then, Powell plays Richard Diamond, Private Detective in "The Martha Campbell Kidnap Case," originally aired on NBC on July 26, 1950.
