Join host, Carl Amari, for a radio re-broadcast of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. Featuring narration by the legendary Edmund O'Brien.
Originally conceived to be a smart, tough, and wisecracking detective who tossed silver-dollar tips to waiters and bellhops, Johnny Dollar was easily one of the Golden Age of Radio's most beloved detective characters. Fitting amongst the ranks of Richard Diamond, Sam Spade, and Phillip Marlowe, Johnny's character was known to purvey his own sense of the law when it came to handling his various cases. First voiced by Dick Powell in the audition show, he eventually withdrew from the role to pursue other detective series, with the leading duties of the character then going to talents Charles Russell, Edmond O'Brien, and John Lund.
Originally airing 07/20/1950, get ready for yet another exciting detective adventure in \"The Henry J. Unger Matter,\" with Detective Johnny Dollar!
