Summary
Wally Maher, Jeff Chandler, and Edmund McDonald star as Brett Halliday’s red-haired Irish detective, Michael Shayne, in his nail-biting adventures from the Golden Age of radio.
Michael Shayne, “the reckless, red-headed Irishman”, was a popular hard-boiled detective created by crime novelist Brett Halliday. Mike settled in Miami just after WWII, making crime pay by fighting it with a license and an attitude. Like Mike Hammer and Philip Marlowe, Shayne was a loner. The backstory on Mike is that he was happily married, but suddenly his wife is tragically murdered, and that hit him hard. Grief-stricken, Shayne loses himself in his work as a private eye, prowling the dark streets of Miami seeking out his style of revenge on injustice. The radio version of Mike’s exploits debuted as Michael Shayne, Private Detective in the fall of 1944 with Wally Maher in the title role. In 1948, Mutual radio debuted The New Adventures of Michael Shayne starring movie star Jeff Chandler. Others to portray Shayne on radio included Edmund McDonald, Donald Curtis, and Robert Sterling. Richard Denning, who had starred for years on the radio comedy series My Favorite Husband opposite Lucille Ball, portrayed Mike Shayne in a 1960s TV version. Enjoy 16 half-hour episodes of one of the best detective shows ever heard on radio.

Old school gum shoe
Great to step back in time with Michael Shayne PD enjoyed it all but noted the new series set in New Orleans is much more gritty than the original with Mike and Phyllis

Too many interruptions
Too many advertising issues regarding petrol. Wish I had known as would not have downloaded this. Pity as enjoyed most of the script except for the annoying interruptions of advertising!
