"Diamond Detective Agency. A pleasant smile, a cheerful rhyme, and we'll keep you from doing time."
Aired 1949 - 1953
Richard Diamond, Private Detective was a happy-go-lucky detective who answered his telephone with atrocious commercial jingles and was a master of the verbal putdown (especially with the police).
The opening each week set up the problem and propelled the sarcasm with the cops; the ending usually found Dick Powell as Richard Diamond in the Park Avenue penthouse of his girlfriend, the rich redhead Helen Asher. Click here to read more about Richard Diamond Private Detective- Radio Shows
