(1953) Boston Blackie False Face

[@loishenry5649]

I remember watching these on tv as a kid. We were lucky to have tv in the 1950's. I think the show impacted how I made my living.

I used to enjoy Boston Blackie on the radio wayyyy back. It's more fun to hear and SEE him in these old videos.

[@jamesrodgers7987]

Love these old shows just to see all the old cars

Great show. Boston Blackie is such a likable guy, unlike the wise guy jerk “detectives” in the cop shows of today. Thanks.

They knocked Blackie out, stuffed him in a Trunk.....but his hat never fell off🤣🤣🤣🤣

An excellent "Boston Blackie" television program. The viewer, if interested, may want to listen to several of the radio programs and see the transition from radio to television. Thank you so much for showing this fine video reproduction.

This character first appeared as far back as the silent era around 1918 and was made famous by Chester Morris in a long series of films released between 1941 through 1949. Morris began the radio series in 1944 but left the first year and was replaced by Richard Kollmar, married to columnist Dorothy Kilgallen

Kent Taylor was a athletic man, and a fine actor. He was perfect as Boston Blackie.

[@SuperIliad]

Nope. No surgery in the living room. She faked surgery.

[@putmetosleep2000]

Put me to sleep like that........please

[@g.h.1472]

putmetosleep2000 yes sleep is right some are OK but kinda soft for a mystery the cop is a bit to comical but it's so so as shows for that time. Boston b. looks like a hood.

Watching this show is like watching a kid pick his nose and eat his buger...you can play with your buger but not with my brain....trying to see how far you can stretch our imagination....eat your bugers noone else will...stupid plot...

Is this racist?

[@Sarah_Gravydog316]

I didn't even know there was a TV version!!

[@michaeldanello3966]

This ZIV series of 58 episodes was syndicated and first aired September 8, 1951 through October 13, 1953. The most well-known films were a series that starred Chester Morris and released between 1941 through 1949. Morris also began the radio series in 1944 but the vast majority of episodes were done by Richard Kollmar who was married to Hearst Syndicate columnist, reporter and panelist on What's My Line from 1950-1965 Dorothy Kilgallen who died under very suspicious circumstances.
