The Terrified Turkey Caper (Aired November 24, 1950)
The Radio version of Sam Spade came to the airwaves in the Summer of 1946 as a Summer replacement for the popular Woody Herman Show. Titled The Adventures of Sam Spade, Detective, Radio's Sam Spade was interpreted by young Howard Duff, a relative newcomer to Network Radio. And although Duff was a relative novice in a featured Network role, he was supported by no less than 'Radio's First Lady', Lurene Tuttle as Effie Perrine and legendary Radio Director William Spier, who'd already made a name for himself with the equally legendary and timeless Suspense series. Gil Doud, Robert Tallman, William Spier, Jason James [as Jo Eisinger], Elliot Lewis, E. Jack Neuman, and Howard Swanton took the writers' credits over the years, fashioning Radio's Sam Spade as a cross between Ricardo Cortez's rogueish Spade and Warren William's wise-cracking, over-the-top Ted Shane from 1936's Satan Met A Lady.
