Podcasts about Sam Spade

“Hands of Death”: A wheelchair-bound collector of murder relics decides the only things missing from his macabre collection are a murderer and a victim — so he engineers his own killer brother's downfall to acquire both. But the dead don't always stay in their boxes, and a pair of severed hands may yet keep a promise of vengeance.Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Our month of classic mystery writers continues with Dashiell Hammett - the former Pinkerton operative whose celebrated characters include Sam Spade, the Continental Op, and Nick and Nora Charles. Radio shows based on his sleuths were some of the most popular on radio until Hammett became a casualty of the Red Scare. We'll hear some of his stories recreated for radio: an adaptation of "The Thin Man" from The Lux Radio Theatre (originally aired on CBS on June 8, 1936; "Two Sharp Knives" - adapted for Suspense (originally aired on CBS on June 7, 1945); "The Maltese Falcon" recreated on Academy Award (originally aired on CBS on July 3, 1946); and "The Critical Author Caper" - a loose adaptation of his novel The Dain Curse from The Adventures of Sam Spade (originally aired on CBS on August 15, 1948). Plus, we'll hear an original Hammett radio creation - private eye Brad Runyon - aka The Fat Man in his debut adventure "The Nineteenth Pearl" (originally aired on ABC on January 21, 1946).

Juan Luis Álvarez comenta seriales sobre algunos detectives (sabuesos, pues) legendarios, creados por plumas excepcionales: Sam Spade, Harry Hole y Perry Mason. Monsieur Spade (Estados Unidos) (1 temporada, 6 episodios, Filmin) Corre 1963 y Sam Spade, el mítico detective creado por Dashiell Hammett, vive retirado en un pequeño pueblo del sur de Francia. Su vida tranquila termina cuando seis monjas aparecen asesinadas en un convento local. El caso parece vinculado al regreso de su viejo adversario Philippe Saint-André y a un misterioso niño al que se atribuyen poderes especiales. La serie explora un Spade envejecido, vulnerable y alejado del arquetipo duro del cine negro clásico. Dirige Scott Frank (Gambito de dama) Lo mejor: La original visión sobre Spade que genera tan radical cambio de escenario. La delicia de ver en acción de nuevo a Chiara Mastroianni. Lo peor: Que haya quien tenga dificultades para reconocer al personaje. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MExBOE0d4NU Perry Mason (Estados Unidos, 2 temporadas, 16 episodios, HBO) La historia creada por Erle Stanley Garner, se sitúa en 1932, durante la Gran Depresión, en un Los Ángeles que prospera gracias al petróleo, el cine, los Juegos Olímpicos y el auge de los predicadores. Perry Mason, aún investigador privado, es contratado para resolver un caso de secuestro infantil que sacude a la ciudad. Destapa corrupción, fanatismo y tensiones sociales, mientras él mismo busca redención personal. Lo mejor: Es imposible no admirar el trabajo de ese actor tan talentoso y versátil llamado Matthew Rhys. Lo peor: El abrupto final del serial, que dejó varias tramas sin cerrar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOYqB7AuHBg Harry Hole (Estados Unidos y Noruega, 1 temporada, 9 episodios, Netflix) Adaptación del universo de Jo Nesbø. La historia sigue a Harry Hole, un brillante pero atormentado detective de homicidios, obligado a regresar a la acción cuando aparece el cuerpo de una mujer con el dedo índice amputado. A medida que avanza la investigación, Hole se enfrenta no solo a un asesino en serie, sino también a su viejo enemigo, el detective Tom Waaler, un policía corrupto situado en el extremo opuesto de la ley. Lo mejor: El tándem que forman Tobías Santelman (Harry Hole) y Joel Kinnaman ( Tom Waaler, su antagonista) es imbatible. Lo peor: Siendo su autor pionero en el llamado thriller nórdico, no se entiende cómo ha llegado tanto en llegar a la pantalla. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzI_wpdBaik

The Private Eye is Free: A Sam Spade Double-Feature RemasterListen close, detectives!

As a belated Valentine's Day treat, we've got four radio mysteries where our detectives are entangled in matrimonial mishaps. As Sherlock Holmes, Basil Rathbone investigates a black widow in "The Book of Tobit" (originally aired on Mutual on March 26, 1945). Philip Marlowe trails a missing wife in "The Persian Slippers" (originally aired on CBS on October 3, 1948), and Sam Spade is accused of eloping in "The Love Letter Caper" (an Armed Forces Radio Service rebroadcast from March 27, 1949). Finally, a wife wants Richard Diamond to protect her husband in "The Simpson Case" (originally aired on ABC on January 18, 1952).

John Tefteller and radio historian Dr. Joe Webb are back with another “lost and found” classic: a 1948 episode of The Adventures of Sam Spade. This one was missing for decades until it turned up on an Armed Forces Radio Service transcription disc, and it's based on Dashiell Hammett's short story The House in Turk Street. John and Dr. Webb dig into the behind-the-scenes history, from the show's production quirks and cast lineup to Hammett's rocky relationship with the people adapting his character. SHOW NOTES The Adventures of Sam Spade 1948-05-18 The Girl Called Echs The lead actors: Howard Duff as Spade, Lurene Tuttle as Effie Howard Duff had a long and successful, and sometimes rocky, radio, film, and television career. He was not an expected candidate to become Sam Spade. The then-wife of producer William Spier, Kay Thompson, suggested that he be given better consideration. Thompson was a musical coach at MGM and was an important behind-the-scenes influencer in encouraging stars to appear on Suspense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Duff Lurene Tuttle was one of the top radio actors of her time. She might be best known for playing Spade's dizzy secretary, Effie, but she appeared in hundreds, if over a thousand, radio roles, often uncredited, in soaps, dramas, westerns, comedies, and other programs. Tuttle had a successful television career, often playing the busybody next-door neighbor, as well as many film roles. The supporting cast of this episode: Jeanette Nolan (Elvira Echs / Eliza), Jay Novello (Sgt. Benson), Lurene Tuttle (Old landlady), Sidney Miller (Doc) , Joe Kearns (Laundry Man / Warren Beeding), John McIntire (Monty), UNKNOWN (Eddy Echs) The title Girl Called Echs is a lampoon of the popular espionage NBC radio series Man Called X. It was often comedic and generally unserious spy drama in spite of the many important and weighty post-WW2 topics at the core of its plotlines. The later popular NBC spy show Dangerous Assignment took things much more seriously. At about the 4:15 mark of this Spade episode, there is a Man Called X not-so-inside joke. Spade says “I am looking for a man called ‘Echs' and I don't mean Herbert Marshall.” The star of that series was Herbert Marshall, indeed, one of the favorite performers for the Suspense series during the time that Spade producer William Spier guided that series to its prominence. Even though Man Called X was an NBC series, numerous actors and writers for Suspense and Sam Spade appeared in that series in supporting roles. When the cast arrived for their rehearsal of this Spade script, they likely all got a good chuckle out of the references. One of the in-joke reasons for chuckling at the title is that in the East and Central time zones NBC schedule, The Man Called X followed the Spade broadcasts! Many regular listeners of NBC  and devotees of both series would have picked up on the joke. So much of the Spade series was tongue-in-cheek with many inside jokes that only the crew and actors detected them. This title and Duff's comment about Herbert Marshall at around the 4:00 minute mark was one that everyone could understand. The plot is partially based on Dashiell Hammett's short story The House on Turk Street.

We recently realized, though it was never our specific intention, that we covered Thomas Jane movies the last two January's of this podcast. So, what the heck...let's lean in! Welcome to "Thomas JANEuary," a two-episode tribute to the rugged, prickly, shoe-hating star of The Punisher, The Mist, Mutant Chronicles, HBO's Hung, and so much more. First up, we're looking at 2010's Give 'Em Hell, Malone. A relic from the dying days of the DTV era, this indie neo-noir thriller seeks to pay tribute to the hardboiled PI stories and classic film noirs of old...whether or not it truly has the budget to do so. Can Thomas Jane effectively channel the spirit of Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe, Mike Hammer, and other classic hardboiled heroes? Can Highlander director Russell Mulcahy still conjure the same sort of visual dynamism with a much lower budget? And where does the line between loving genre pastiche and cynical genre parody truly begin, or end? We discuss all this and more, as we give 'em hell, Malone.
