Alias Mr. Alden

Title: Alias Mr. Alden from The Whistler
Media: CD

I am certain this half hour radio show from 1952 is as good or better than any half hour of television on today. This show could easily be padded and turned into a fine film noir. It is a classic double - double cross with a femme fatal to boot. Both characters are after the safety deposit key of the recently murdered Mr. Alden and neither can be trusted. In the end the woman ends up with the money and kills the man pretending to be Mr. Alden. Finally, in classic Whistler style, a seemingly insignificant act, in this case the man typing the woman's name on a check on a new ribbon, becomes the guilty party's undoing. In this case her name typed on that new ribbon was plain for the policew to see. "I'm sure something in this room will tell us why your name was typed by the murdered Mr. Alden!" (Key whistle, thank you Signal Oil.)
