Thanks for posting this program. Next to Johnny Dollar, Richard Diamond is a favorite.
Love this series & Dick Powell, he was so talented, he died of cancer from being a chain smoker😢
Sad and ironic. He was so talented
I know. Horrible irony
This is one of the clearest recordings I've heard from this era!!
Between Richard Diamond, Johnny Dollar, Suspense, Dragnet, Nero Wolfe and the Mysterios Traveler..I dont really watch Tv any more! Keep up the good work!
Same here.
I haven’t watched TV for months now no news and I have managed to survive living in ignorance. I particularly love BBC radio though 30 minutes or 90 minutes. I am also loving the old British photos. I was born in 1951 so many radio shows were performed pre my birth and after in the Netherlands. Love this stuff and no rubbish advertisements. I don’t need to be to.d what I should want I know what I need and at this vey money need black embroidery floss nothing anywhere in Victoria.
TV has gone to the dogs.
I'll smoke a camel while I'm doing my research on a tapeworm. 🤣🤣🤣 Dick Powell could really deliver his lines. Great timing.
I just hate that the cigarettes killed him😢
She says, ...television "makes you appreciate the finer things in life."
Diamond: "Yeah, like radio."
I love all these old crime radio program, thank you, UA-cam for bringing the back to us!
Thank you antique radios!
I really enjoy listening to old radio shows, especially Richard Powell Private Detective
I vaguely remember cigarette commercials on TV. Don't remember the commercials where they recommended smoking. I haven't listened to Richard Diamond before but I find it funny all the comments on Camel cigarettes. If I make it through the day I will be 12 days without smoking. I think maybe I'll skip the commercial
dreas mom One day at a time to stop smoking, friend. Don't worry about tomorrow or how many times you fall. Just worry about today. And if you fall: GET UP! And start over. You see, if you go twelve days without a smoke and then fall, then go another twelve days without a smoke, you are doing just fine!! Or every other day. Or every three days. The point is, reduce and keep reducing. And do something constructive to occupy yourself and your hands with. And your mind. And remind yourself that every time you don't smoke, is another step AWAY from horrible cancer. And you save loys.of money too! God bless you. I hope this helps. I know from experience what I'm talking about. Been clear of smoking dope for six years after smoking fifteen! Not the same as nicotine but don't let anyone kid you. Either one is highly addictive and debilitating of you don't have a smoke. You can do it though. You can do it!! 😁

Great comment!
Enjoyed
The commercials are priceless!!!😂😂😂😂😂. Thank goodness we know better now!
Without a doubt the best detective show of that era.
A very good episode with Dick Powell. The song he sang at the end of the show was very popular in late summer/early fall of 1951, being Tony Martin's last hit record. Dick Powell did very well in his role as "Richard Diamond, Private Detective" with good plots, pacing, and a combination of light comedic overtones and drama/romance and a song at the end of each show. The writing of the scripts were excellent. The program "holds up" after six and a half decades - still very enjoyable.
The year I was born 1951 was a very good year.
Dick Powell was the best Richard Diamond.
Great series!
The best ever!!
Good show.
one of my favorites....I actually whistle the opening tune around the house. Drives my girlfriend nuts!
+Mark Smith trying to let my daughter in laws Cockateal hear that whistle, they can copy a whistle. I like it too.
+Mary Wilder That's awesome....and so were these times(1950's). I love these shows....listen to all of them on Sirius. I wish people were as genuine now as they were then. Good luck with that Cockateal!
BTW,...I do not whistle anywhere near as well as Dick Powell.
Mark Smith, a man whistling does not have to be good; it sounds great to be near.
Mary Wilder
Mark Smith I hope your girlfriend knows how lucky she is! I'd LOVE if my bf whistled that tune around the house (is her name Helen, lol). These shows are great; I also love Johnny Dollar (with his expense account), Philip Marlowe, Sam Spade, Nick Carter Master Detective, Candy Matson - a private 'eyelash', and lots more.....
So enjoyed, thank you!
TY
Thank you! I enjoyed this!
Great show! Thanks for sharing.
Happy New Year to all! 🎉
Great radio series. I'm off now to smoke pack after pack of camels ;)
Redacted "I can't get no satisfaction......."
Christian Fatimas or Islam Fatimas ?
Hey who you callin' a FatMa?
Actually this ain't my joke, it's a Bennett Cerf original. He was talking about a showman introducing a doll in harem pants as the exotic beauty from the mysterious East the bewitching beguiling Fatima and she hauled him one on the proboscis- hey who ya callin' a Fatma? And walked off the stage. ROFL
I found some really Good stuff on OTR on archive org.Please try Lux Radio theater, Jimmy Stewart in The Six Shooter, the Saint, and Herbert Marshall as X, for starters. I got hooked onto archive in 2009! How time flieth when one enjoyeth.
Jimmy Stewart.
I can't believe it! I love this listening to old radio program. If you really loved program like this you should also try "Radio Mystery Theater". If you listen carefully the voice of "Walt" the police chief also did the voice of "Fred Flintstone."
CYNTHIA CHATMAN No. Ed Bagley was the police chief. Alan Reed was the voice of Fred Flintstone. He also was Pasquale on radio's Life with Luigi.
+Vladislov Kyzinski Reed was Walt on several occasions, including this one.
Just love the tidbits of information like yours.
@@vladislovkyzinski3430 at first I was thinking Ed Begley is way too young then I remembered the Ed Begley I know is Junior.
I will keep my ears open for Freddy Flintstone voice
Send thousands of packs of Camels to hospitals, try that today...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️
That's Alan Reed as Lt. Walter Levinson.
Of all radio shows I love dick Powell's Richard diamond #1
Fred Flintstone played the cop in this episode
Not one single case of throat irritation just hundreds of thousands of throat cancer patients years later
This show was adapted for television,david Jansen did the title role,Mary Tyler Moore played Sam,his secretary.
Wow that's cool to know. I wonder where we can find the show? I'll check UA-cam. Thanks for the info.
@@dreasmom2789
It wasn't as good as the radio show.
Those Camels adverts lol oh God
fred flintstone 😁
Sheldon Leonard in this episode.
Sounds like Frank Lovejoy in the cast.
Never smoked oldest of 5 siblings all smokers and the three bros like a few too many bears not me hate the taste and smel. Now a sambuca I can enjoy been a very long time between those drinks. I love a very good moscato anything not good is usually terrible
I loved Lindemams Moscato but some fools decided to take them of the shelf.
Love listening to these ads selling cancer of the throat I survived double Brest cancer 2 cancer ver different to the top on and another cancer in the right chemotherapy treatments were brutal and the 28 radiation treatments has left me with so many issues with my hands and legs, no more treatment if they find more secondary cancers. Can’t be bothered with the horrendous treatments so allergic just not worth the crap I had to but up with. Guinea pigs and no support once the radiation was over. Just forgotten no follow up at all.
I think he gets punched out or knocked around in every single episode. I love the radio shows but I really hate the corny sound effects cuz I can't sleep to the show without them bothering me I guess it's just to wake up the people before the commercials come on
uufda framage the camel ads
