Philo Vance - Merry Murder Cases
Just finished listening to "Philo Vance - Merry Murder Cases" released by Radio Spirits.
Philo Vance was the creation of writer Willard H. Wright, who chronicled Vance's career as a private investigator under the pen name of S.S. Van Dine. Vance was as popular as Sherlock Holmes and each new Philo Vance novel that Wright wrote was adapted faithfully by Hollywood because Wright kept tight control. It was only after his untimely death the Vance went from an insufferable swanking prat to a more personable fellow. Like most popular fictional print and big screen detectives, he was adapted for radio, which kept his likability and kept the supporting characters from the novels.
[I have not read any of the Philo Vance novels.] At the conclusion of each Philo Vance radio show, Philo or someone else would say, "This Is the end of the [Insert Show Title] Murder Case.
My favorite episodes in this collection are: "The Best Seller Murder Case," "The President Murder Case," "The Tree Trunk Murder Case," "The Lady in Blue Murder," "The Heavyweight Murder Case," and "The Midget Murder Case."
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!
FIVE STARS!
