Lux Radio Theater-540426-878-Detective Story

Detective Story adapted for radio by Lux Radio Theater aired April 26, 1954 starring Kirk Douglas as detective Jim McLeod, Eleanor Parker as his wife Mary and William Conrad as Lt. Monaghan. Detective Story, based on a Broadway play, is one of Kirk Douglas' finest performances with a mixture of police procedure, comedy, drama, and outright tragedy and was nominated for 4 Oscars. Playing a New York city police detective, the story plays out like a day-in-the life of Douglas' character and his precinct, with an assorted cast of characters. William Conrad gives a great performance also, no wonder he ended up in the TV series Cannon after Gunsmoke radio show ended. One of the best police dramas I've listen to and a must for all devotees of the genre.
