The Adventures Of The Falcon - "The Case Of The Careless Client" (10-15-50)

The Case Of The Careless Client (Aired October 15, 1950)

 INTRO: Bob Plays John Denver "I'm Sorry" (1975)

The success of the Falcon films led to a radio series that premiered on the American Blue Network in April 1943, and aired for the next ten years on various networks. It was here that his transition into a private eye was finalized, with The Falcon, now called MICHAEL WARING working as a hardboiled insurance investigator, with an office and a secretary, Nancy. Barry Kroeger was the first radio voice of the Falcon, followed by James Meighan, Les Tremayne, George Petrie, and Les Damon. Nearly all the shows were broadcast from New York.
