Michael Shayne, "the reckless, red-headed Irishman" was
a popular hard-boiled detective created by American crime novelist Brett
Haliday. Mike blew into Miami just
after WWII, making crime pay by fighting it with a license and an attitude.
Like Mike Hammer and other Phillip
Marlowe wannabes, he was a loner,
but he was a guy with a sense of humor, like Sam Spade or Richard Diamond.
Shayne was the genuine fighting Irish, and his believability made him a
popular private eye with the Post World War veterans who had lived more than
their share of violent morality. The radio version of Mike's
exploits, all in 30 minute stand-alone format, debuted as Michael Shayne,
Private Detective in the fall of
'44 with the fine radio actor Wally Maher as Mike. In the fall of 1946, the
show went national for a year. Mutual did it again in 1948, titled The New
Adventures of Michael Shayne,
starring the hunky movie star Jeff Chandler. Many liked Chandler's Shayne and Jeff did the job
for two years. In 1952-53, ABC brought movie actor Donald Curtis to the
microphone for another series, calling this one The Adventures of Michael
Shayne. Want
