BBC Four from December 1984. Tom Wilkinson stars as Sam Spade in this BBC adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's Maltese Falcon.  A coolly glittering gem of detective fiction that has haunted three generations of readers, from one of the greatest mystery writers of all time.

A perfumed grafter named Joel Cairo, a fat man name Gutman, and Brigid O’Shaughnessy, a beautiful and treacherous woman whose loyalties shift at the drop of a dime. These are the ingredients of Dashiell Hammett's iconic, influential, and beloved The Maltese Falcon.

Aired December 24, 1950 on NBC. The Saint was a radio adventure program in the United States that featured a character in his attempt to help people, remained just one step ahead of the police and criminals both of whom he combatted. The character was created by author Leslie Charteris. As the program's introduction said, The Saint, alias of Simon Templar, was "known to millions from books, magazines, and motion pictures." Several versions of the program appeared on different networks. Vincent Price was the star in the NBC series. The program's final run began June 11, 1950, as a summer replacement for The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show. The Saint was back on its original network, NBC, for this version, which ended October 14, 1951. The show lasted longer in this version than in any other, despite a negative review of the first episode in Billboard which said much of the script was "confusing and slow-paced" and called star Vincent Price "frightfully dull."
