Join host, Carl Amari, for a special radio re-broadcast of The Falcon. Featuring narration by Les Damon.
First created by Drexel Drake in 1936 for a series of novels, \"The Falcon\" was an alternate identity for freelance investigator and troubleshooter, Michael Waring. By 1941, the character could be seen for the first time on the silver screen by RKO Pictures, with George Sanders taking on the leading role. Two years later, The Falcon made his radio debut with Berry Kroeger taking on narration duties for this iconic detective. Like The Falcon films, the radio series plot mixed elements of danger, romance, and comedy in equal parts to entice listeners nationwide. Often focusing on cases that involved oppressed men and repressed women, The Falcon was a detective series that stood to be truly ahead of its time.
Originally airing 11/12/1950, prepare for yet another amazing radio detective adventure in \"The Case of the Widow's Gorilla,\" with The Falcon!
