Howard Duff as Sam Spade!

If you could sum up The Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail Caper in three words, what would they be?

silly, witty detective !

Who was your favorite character and why?

Effie, the secretary. Sweet and clearly crazy about Sam, she plays a nice foil to his complaining.

Have you listened to any of the narrators other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was my first Sam Spade, but if Audible has more I will get them. This was fun!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me giggle. A lot of topical jokes that may be dated, but being a history nut, I think I got most of them. When Sam says to the other detective at the end, " This is my show, get your own!" I laughed out loud.

The Second Best Sam Spade Episode Ever!

Howard Duff is the most enjoyable radio actor to ever solve a caper! What a pleasure to hear him work. Let Fritz Crockett get his own show.

Mystery can be funny.

This was a very funny episode. Sam Spade on radio is not much his character in the book or movie. In books and movies he's more of a anti hero. Also in books and movies, you also get the feeling he's not a very happy guy. On the radio though, he's very funny, sarcastic, and very lovable. He's more like James Garners character Jim Rockford. In all good old fashion fun. Goodnight Sweetheart.

Howard Duff is Spade.

I did not like the story. But I've been impressed with Howard Duffs performance. It must be hard to follow in Bogarts shoes, but he does a good job. He plays a tough but very funny detective very well. Goodnight sweetheart.

Format: Original Recording

Length: 5 hrs and 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-19-16

Publisher: Black Eye Entertainment

Genres: Nostalgia Radio, Crime & Mystery

Publisher's Summary:

In 1949, NBC brought handsome Irish American actor Brian Donlevy to the radio microphones as international troubleshooter Steve Mitchell in the spy series Dangerous Assignment. Mitchell worked for an unnamed US government intelligence agency, whose boss, "the Commissioner," dispatched him to world trouble spots. Mitchell's assignment was to solve problems in record time and in accordance with US interests.

The radio series ran from 1949 to 1953, due in part to Donlevy's terrific performances and the mystique of the foreign locations and situations, which radio listeners could create in their own "theater of the mind." During its last year on radio, Donlevy formed a production company to convert the series to television, producing 39 episodes for syndication.

Enjoy 12 exciting, half-hour radio adventures of globe-trotting troubleshooter Steve Mitchell as he solves another dangerous assignment.
