Thin Man (Old Time Radio)

Dashiell Hammett

(4.6 stars; 16 reviews)

The Adventures of the Thin Man radio shows were based on the Thin Man movie series, which were in turn based on the novel by Dashiell Hammett. Despite its long run on radio from 1941 to 1950, few recordings of the series exist, and many of them are in sub-par sound.

Many of the existing recordings are misdated or mistitled. The shows have been researched and checked, and alternative titles are included in the file names. The Lux Radio Theatre versions and an episode of the movie promotion show Leo is on the Air are also included. Many of the series recordings exist only because the Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS) rebroadcast the series.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
