Radio dramas, serials, comedy shows, and panel games etc are still very popular in the UK and are regularly broadcast on BBC radio, especially on BBC Radio 4.

Edward. G. Robinson's physical appearance was tailor made for RADIO. His performance works here,only because we can't SEE him. NO ONE but NO ONE could ever even DREAM of replacing BOGART as Sam Spade.

Oh, isn't it wonderful! I'm totally into OTR! My folks have passed on, I wish I had asked them about their radio faves they were right in that era. Glad YT has so many playlists, I listen all night! The Whistler is a good one and Lux Radio Theater is the best for old movies done for radio - but for great writing of a detective show I love Broadway is My Beat! Very corny now but provocative!

Gail Patrick had Mary Astor down pat -- a near-perfect imitation of Astor's screen performance. I love the way these shows recapture a big part of my childhood. Laird Creegar is very good here, but no one could ever fill Sidney Greenstreet's shoes. In fact no one has ever taken his place in the world of entertainment. He was unique.

Us. The other 78% do just fine with radio, or once a month live little stage shows, they're too busy farming, ir hunting, or sewing or services to others to care about whats on the tv, night after night.

The adaptation is adequate. As good as Ed Robinson is in his performances, he is not Humphrey Bogart in this role. Bogart takes mediocre stories and turns them into classics. Clearly, this radio performance is only as good as it is because it follows the original movie. Enjoy it though!
