The Adventures of Sam Spade was a radio series based loosely on the private detective character Sam Spade, created by writer Dashiell Hammett for The Maltese Falcon. The show ran for 13 episodes on ABC in 1946, for 157 episodes on CBS in 1946-1949, and finally for 51 episodes on NBC in 1949-1951. The series starred Howard Duff (and later, Steve Dunne) as Sam Spade and Lurene Tuttle as his secretary Effie, and took a considerably more tongue-in-cheek approach to the character than the novel or movie. In 1947, scriptwriters Jason James and Bob Tallman received an Edgar Award for Best Radio Drama from the Mystery Writers of America.

Your welcome, enjoy
Thanks for this.
I downloaded it from archive.org a year or two ago. A couple of months ago, I deleted it from my hard drive to free up some space. I figured the next time I got a hankering, I'd just d/l it again. Well, a hankering began gnawing at me over the weekend, when I discover it's vanished from archive.org. Now, I'm buzzing again. I won't make that mistake again!
Thanks Robert ------------------ Rick
