Story
Richard Diamond, Private Detective was one of the great gems of the last decade of commercial network dramatic radio. Tailor made for star Dick Powell, the sleuth is an amalgam of elements of Philip Marlowe with Powell’s own boy singer past. Diamond is a tough detective and while he often faces long odds and takes his beatings, he always rebounds with humor and style.

Story
Dick Powell established himself as a silver screen icon in the 1930s as the apple-cheeked crooning sensation in countless Depression-era musicals. But the 1940s found him playing every tough guy from Philip Marlowe to Richard Rogue...to Richard Diamond, private detective. Powell's portrayal of Diamond and his flawless chemistry with Virginia Gregg as the detective's socialite girlfriend, Helen Asher, brought the series' admiringly clever scripts to life.

Story
Diamond Detective Agency. A pleasant smile, a cheerful rhyme, and we'll keep you from doing time. A quip, a carefree whistle, and a case closed - that's Dick Powell's Richard Diamond. Clients can be scarce, but he's not a bit worried. You see, he's "in partnership with a shill called human nature." And she's really quite reliable. Sooner or later someone will need his services for matters of protection or pay back, blackmail or bombs, modern art or murder.

Story
He walks the streets by night! He solves crimes! He loves the ladies! And, he sings, too! What more you could you want from a radio detective? Hear screen legend Dick Powell star in sixteen rollicking episodes as Richard Diamond, Private Detective. A cut above the usual shamus, Rick is a charmer, has a snappy way with a wisecrack, and isn't afraid to use his fists. Diamond is flirtatious with female clients, but always remains true to his lady love. Helen Asher, his own sweet socialite, is playfully portrayed by Virginia Gregg, whose chemistry with Powell is positively peerless.

Publisher's summary
Dick Powell is Richard Diamond, private detective, the quick-witted, lighthearted detective. Quite possibly radio's first singing detective, Diamond was always quick with a quip or a sarcastic response. He sang his way through over 150 fast-paced adventures, most of which were written by Blake Edwards before the start of his successful career as a film director.
Everyone, from cutthroat business execs to sparring spouses, from real estate men to showgirls, from lawyers to ex-cons, and from fighters to fortune tellers, come seeking help with cases of kidnapping, blackmail, mysterious packages, and murder.
In these 16 digitally remastered episodes, Diamond takes the case - along with his sweetheart and sidekick, Helen Asher (Frances Robinson). Generally complicating matters, and occasionally passing work along his way, were homicide detectives Lieutenant Walt Levinson (Ed Begley Sr.) and Otis Ludlum (Wilms Herbert).
Episodes include: "The Elaine Tanner Case" 02-12-50, "Photographer's Card" 03-26-50, "The Statue of Kali" 04-05-50, "The Butcher Killer" 04-12-50, "The Mary Bellman Murder Case" 06-28-50, "The Mike Burton Case" 07-05-50, "Boxer Max Farmer" 08-02-50, "The Carnival Case" 08-16-50, "The Big Foot Grafton Case" 08-30-50, "The Misplaced Laundry Case" 09-06-50, "The George Lexington Case" 09-13-50, "The Oklahoma Cowboy Murder Case" 09-27-50, "The Pete Rocco Case" 10-04-50, "The Homing Pigeon Case" 10-11-50, "The Marilyn Connors Case" 01-12-51, "Monsieur Beauchand" 03-16-51.

Story
In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.

The Original Singing Detective
Dick Powell has played Phillip Marlow, Richard Rouge, and the singing Detective Richard Diamond. So he is a great detective on screen and Radio. On this radio show he does a lot singing at the end of the show. Something Dick Powell is good at. This show combines humor and drama very well.
