Description
Crime on a Wednesday
First, a look at this day in History.
Then, Dragnet starring Jack Webb, originally broadcast June 17, 1949, 77 years ago, The Werewolf. Third episode of the series and the first use of the long running familiar theme song. The Werewolf has beaten up and robbed eighteen women. This big, ugly man always seems to be one step ahead of the cops.
Followed by Call the Police, originally broadcast June 17, 1947, 79 years ago, The Case of the Violent Vegetable. The owner of a fruit stand is murdered by a gangster...who likes apples.
Then, The New Adventures of Philip Marlowe starring Van Heflin, originally broadcast June 17, 1947, 79 years ago, Red Wind. First episode of the summer series filling in for Bob Hope. Forty-one matched pearls with a diamond propeller clasp...a good reason for murder!
Followed by Lights Out, originally broadcast June 17, 1936, 90 years ago, Cat Wife. The story of John and Linda, and Linda’s transition from wild partying woman to cat!
Finally, Claudia, originally broadcast June 17, 1948, 78 years ago, An Evening Alone. Mother's going to bed early. Kathryn Bard and Paul Crabtree star
