THIS IS YOUR F.B.I. - 3 CD SET
Old Time Radio - 3 mp3 CD - 281 mp3
This Is Your FBI was a radio crime
drama which aired in the United States on ABC from April
6, 1945 to January 30, 1953. FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover
gave it his endorsement, calling it "the finest dramatic
program on the air."
Producer-director Jerry Devine was given access to FBI
files by Hoover, and the resulting dramatizations of FBI
cases were narrated by Frank Lovejoy (1945), Dean
Carleton (1946-47) and William Woodson (1948-53). Stacy
Harris had the lead role of Special Agent Jim Taylor.
Others in the cast were William Conrad, Bea Benaderet
and Jay C. Flippen.
"This Is Your FBI" was sponsored during its tenure by
the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United
States, now known as AXA Equitable Life Insurance
Company.
These were fact-based dramas that
told the story of FBI cases from the agent's point of
view. Producer/director Jerry Devine had previous radio
experience on the show Mr. District Attorney, which was
a solid and responsible pro-law enforcement radio drama.
J. Edgar Hoover himself endorsed Devine's development of
the new show, and obviously the FBI's story would be
told in the best possible way. Divine worked with the
FBI in Washington, DC, planning programs to highlight
the latest developments in criminal laboratory and
surveillance techniques worked in to solid, exciting old
time radio shows.
Crackdowns on organized crime, and
well-known criminal cases of the day were featured, as
well as stories of individual lawbreakers. A fictitious
agent, Jim Taylor, handled West Coast cases involving
fraud, petty crime and professional crooks. The stories
shifted during the half-hour between the criminal's
actions and the agent's account of the investigation
follow-up.
A narrator profiled the action along the way. Frank
Lovejoy did it early in the show's run, then Dean
Carlton. Lovejoy, also a well-known film and TV actor,
starred in the radio drama Nightbeat.
