Exceptionally entertaining "Soft-Boiled" Detective Philo Vance solves murders with his wits. His brain is a match for the Great Sherlock Holmes, and so is his superior attitude. Lovers of the noirish hard-boiled school should seek out a host of other shows: Philip Marlowe, Pat Novack, Richard Diamond, Let George Do It, and Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar for starters.

The series was based on S.S. Van Dine novels. It was broadcast on NBC in 1945 with Jose Ferrer as Philo, then was on the ABC West Coast Network with an unknown cast. The last series was a syndicated 1948-1950 ZIV series with Jackson Beck as Philo. Great detective melodrama.
