Ahhh, the good old days of television when you could get a murder mystery in half an hour. I wish they'd bring some of these back, they were great shows.
You don’t have actors with those distinctive voices anymore. Maybe Liam Neeson. Sean Connery had that type of voice, but Tom Conway and his brother had very distinctive voices. I never would’ve guessed that they were Russian.
Like, Tom Conway's personality, as an actor. Especially in, Universal's 2nd., mummy movie; 'The Mummy's Hand' (1942, I think). What the boys should've done, when those models came in, is have them light, their own cigarettes. See maybe one of them is clumsy enough, to break a match, like the one's found, at the crime scene. Why would that Miss Edmunson, have a painting (even though, it's a photograph. Look at the shadow, behind her) hanging on her wall, portraying a woman, whom she doesn't even know, from a painter, who trying something inappropriate, with her🤔??? That Sargent Maloney, sure is stupid🤭………
Find his movies in the falcon series. They were done before the show, of course, but they were in his absolute prime. He was becoming sickly at this point from emphysema. I think he died in the mid 60s. His brother was George Brent and at one point they were both in the falcon series and I believe one of them did an earlier version of the saint.
Why do I get the feeling the actors were phoning it in? I’ve seen better acting on OTR shows. And Tom Conway was certainly capable of better acting. Just goes to show: television acting was still in its infancy and learning how to do it.
@@geoffreypiltz271 True enough. I'm a fan on OTR, especially detective and police shows, and it's pretty clear which ones had good writers and which ones didn't. The early days of TV had some classic shows, but most of them were dreck. Sturgeon's Law: 99% of science fiction is dreck, but, then again, 99% of EVERYTHING is dreck.
Came to say that- the actress plsying the maid is shockingly BAD ! Conway like his brother, George Sanders, couldn't give a bad performance even if they were asleep... @@elliottschertzer876

Back when the maid got no screen credit. At least they gave her a role to play.
I LOVE these Mark Saber shows THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH
I hope you will consider finding and posting these shows. They are wonderfully entertaining, and at less than 30 minutes, they're perfect.
Excellent show 👌
Glad you enjoyed it
Tom Conway was wonderful. Rest in peace.
Half An hour murder mystery would be really good ❤
I wonder if Tom Conway was related to Tim?
Thank you for uploading these wonderful old shows. I loved the black and whites.
Thanks as always.
Thanks for watching!
Thankyou 🎉
You’re welcome 😊
Too bad all of the episodes aren't uploaded to RUclips.

So fun to watch, I’m enjoying this show!
(I only found the Maid to be a poor actor, re below.)
Mary wasn't blonde.

The real Betty Anderson. I was thinking the same thing.

To be fair, the script really didn't call for much in the way of acting.
