Broadway leading man Richard Kollmar initially seemed an odd choice to star as safecracker turned crime fighter Boston Blackie. But he soon made the role of the "enemy to those who make him an enemy, friend to those who have no friend" his own with a breezy portrayal that made the series a long-running favorite. Beginning in 1945, Kollmar starred in a series of 220 episodes of this popular series, costarring Maurice Tarplin and Jan Minor. Always a breath of fresh air in the tough and gritty world of hard boiled gumshoes, "Boston Blackie" remains a delight, offering listeners nothing more than good old-fashioned crime solving fun. You'll enjoy the sparkling sound of twenty restored episodes in this collection, offering ten full hours of lighthearted action and adventure.
