Dangerous Assignment |
|
Steve Mitchell É two-fisted government agent. At all those places of the world where danger
and intrigue walk hand in hand, there you will find Steve Mitchell on another dangerous
assignment! Starring Brian Donlevy as Steve Mitchell, Dangerous Assignment is a product of the Cold War, with mystery and
intrigue cropping up across the globe. Mitchell, an agent for an unnamed U.S.
government agency, is dispatched to some exotic, faraway place at the
beginning of each episode. Herb Butterfield is the Commissioner, a taskmaster shrouded in secrecy who serves up the
situations that Mitchell never refuses. The Commissioner's secretary is
played by Betty Moran. She seems
to care about the Steve's welfare, whilst the Commissioner is just concerned
about Steve getting the job done. Mitchell's narration is
done in the first person, present tense, adding an unusual twist for this
type of show. But the plot is always good (USA and Freedom) against
unspeakable evil (Communism and the Iron Curtain). The worldwide locations are
dealt up with a feeling of local, and the characters that inhabit these
far-away places are solid and capably acted by veterans. Brian Donlevy carries the plots with a world-weary and wary tone
that makes sense, based on his occupation. But he's given to action and this
radio show certainly delivers on that score. Yeah, danger is my assignment. I get sent to a lot of places I can't even
pronounce, but they all spell the same thing: trouble ! The radio show ran for 3
seasons commencing with a "summer run" on 9th July 1949 before
settling into a regular slot on 6th February 1950. In all, 94 different thirty
minute episodes have survived. Want
