What a treasure. Thanks soo much!

Thank you so much for posting this,great entertainment of the past beats every thing today❤

thank you very much for posting this.

Radio dramas, serials, comedy shows, and panel games etc are still very popular in the UK and are regularly broadcast on BBC radio, especially on BBC Radio 4.

Love radio drama. Theater of the imagination.

Nice of you to do this. Makes staying up late to get work done very pleasurable, rather than mildly interesting.

Awesome. Thank you

A friend of Dads family when we were kids,Edward with his wife came to our yearly Christmas Eve dinners. Uncle Mendal was his attorney.

Housework at night, this sure helps

Edward G. Robinson as Spade. Loved Bogart and loved this

Thanks David. I grew up with my parents telling about these & the advertisements, the little news bites between shows. They grew up in this era.

Edward G was good as Sam Spade. I love old radio shows!I can picture families gathered around the radio, hanging on every word.

Thank You well done👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

i loved peter lorrie in the movie version of this , he did an aswensome job

I'm subscribing! Great downloads!

lots of irony in this. Maltese Falcon was the film that got Bogart out of a sequence of gangster films playing second fiddle to Robinson

total atmos , edward g an actor and more , little ceaser a classic !

To place the price of the falcon; $5000 in 1931 is $49,449 in 2018.

Hopefully the LUX Video Theatre version of Sunset Boulevard can be added to this list one day. It was aired about 1955 and starred Miriam Hopkins as Norma Desmond.

Gail Patrick had Mary Astor down pat -- a near-perfect imitation of Astor's screen performance. I love the way these shows recapture a big part of my childhood. Laird Creegar is very good here, but no one could ever fill Sidney Greenstreet's shoes. In fact no one has ever taken his place in the world of entertainment. He was unique.

just as good as the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edward G.Robinson: what a great actor

Not bad. It doesn't take long to get used to E.G.Robinson instead of Bogie as Spade.The rest of the cast is pretty good, too. An hour, however, is not nearly enough time to do justice to the story. Still, a good listen.

Edward G. Robinson was quite different from Humphrey Bogart, but no less tough and hard-boiled.

Gail Patrick as Brigid O'Shaughnessy? Good casting.

Bogey the best ever,they don' thave stars like these anymore,we have pretty boys and skinny women.

Cool video.

Oooh, Laird Cregar!

i have the movie version of this, the radio version is good to

What IS it about the police and detectives, from this story to the Philip Marlowe cases, Sherlock Holmes and Poirot, detectives and cops seem to have something of an adversarial relationship.

i loved edward g robinson in the red house i thought he did a great job in it

ACADEMY AWARD THEATER, Has BOGART, ASTOR & GREENSTREET Only 24:19. . . the original actors, not these substitutes even though I find them ok. Why Bogart and company didn't work here, I just don't know ?

Thanks for posting. Has the pronuncaitation of 'falcon' changed over the years? Sounds like they're all saying 'fall-con'.

Didn't the Rugrats reference this one in an episode where Tommy played the main role or am I thinking of something else because of the name?

Did they have a live audience for this?

$5000 in 1940=$94,461.43 in 2019

me too jp. x

A bit of a spoiler, Curious how they didn’t use the classic line at the end .

Re: could people today sit and just listen to a radio show? Well, you just did, I do, ppl blind or without tv and computers do it all over the world, only 22% of world pop have the ongoing inceasible need to be constantly fed with entertainment and thats in the western hemisphere. Us. The other 78% do just fine with radio, or once a month live little stage shows, they're too busy farming, ir hunting, or sewing or services to others to care about whats on the tv, night after night. Ps, when did you last read a book? The whole thing? Me? Monday, Tale of Two Cities. Today is Wed. Mk riley, il.

2:38 start 23:39 Act 2 38:52 Act 3 57:22 end

English isn't my native language I have to ask what are they advertising in between acts?

Brilliant. The one with English actors is much inferior.I believe in English actors for English drama and American actors for American drama.

The adaptation is adequate. As good as Ed Robinson is in his performances, he is not Humphrey Bogart in this role. Bogart takes mediocre stories and turns them into classics. Clearly, this radio performance is only as good as it is because it follows the original movie. Enjoy it though!

Won’t be long until the progressive movement comes after these radio productions. So enjoy while you can
