Barrie Craig Investigator

Radio from October 3, 1951 to June 30, 1955.[1]

Detective Barrie Craig (William Gargan[2]) worked alone from his Madison Avenue office.[1] Unlike his contemporaries Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe, Craig had a laid-back personality, somewhat cutting against the popular hard-boiled detective stereotype. Others in the cast included Ralph Bell, Elspeth Eric, Parker Fennelly, Santos Ortega, Arnold Moss, Parley Baer, Virginia Gregg and Betty Lou Gerson.
