YTJD 1957-07-28 ep547 The Confederate Coinage Matter

[@deborahholm824]

Loved it! I enjoy these retro radio shows immensely! Thank you!!

Ive listened to the Charles Russel, Edmund O'Brian, and the one Dick Powell version of YTJD. Dick Powell and Edmund O'Brian were excellent actors. I am unaware of Charles Russell's career. However Bob Bailey owned this role, lock, stock and barrel! No one else held a candle to his portrayal of Johnny Dollar. As a matter of fact I think it was the whole team of actor, producer, director, announcer, et al. I remember listening to this series as a kid. I think I'm enjoying them even more at 78.

Mac, I agree with you opinion of Bob Bailey, he is the best. But I always enjoyed Mandel Kramer as well. The stories were a bit shorter as CBS phased out their radio shows. Charles Russell did not have much of a career as an actor, he was more of a producer. He produced TV shows for about 15 years before he retired. John Lund had an acting career, but not like Powell or O'Brien did

Liked it! The turkeys 🤣

[@roncorbyn507]

That was a cute ending!

Samson and Delilah. I think Digger is Festus on the radio Gunsmoke.

Good ending.

[@quicksilvertongue3248]

A slightly inconclusive ending. Samson never finds out the value of his coin, and the company is still on the hook for fifteen k if anything else happens to it before they have a legal opportunity to cancel the misinformed policy. I'm glad Digger and Mary got a happy ending, but it didn't have to be quite so schmaltzily contrived.

[@ronaldhall2489]

I'm just thinking how I would go about getting that half dollar out of all them turkeys. Killing and cleaning all of them is a lot of work and a lot of turkeys to put up also keeping an eye out for the coin and make sure no one helping would pocket it. I came up with x raying the birds. Does that make sense???
