Superb audio - the best of all OTR offerings on KZbin in my humble opinion. Thanks!

This is a very entertaining episode of "Richard Diamond, Private Detective," with one of my favorite detectives. This is a good dramatization with a good script, pacing, direction, and voice acting. The audio, as always, is excellent.

Man did they ever snowball people with their cigarette commercials. Made them sound good and diminish all the dangers. Little did the public know. These shows are classic.

As at the date of airing this show, 1,940,000 Camel cigarettes had been sent to veterans and hospitalised servicemen - no doubt part of the 'cure' in those days.
