FBI in Peace and War

Frederick L. Collins

(4.7 Sterne; 3 Bewertungen)

The FBI in Peace and War was a radio crime drama that, despite its name, did not have the official cooperation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Instead, it was inspired by a book of the same name by Frederick L. Collins. The show had a long run from November 1944 to September 1958 and was notable for having a woman, Betty Mandeville, as its producer for much of its duration.

The program featured a memorable theme, the March from Prokofiev's The Love for Three Oranges, and was produced in New York with some of radio's most recognizable voices. Although it had a meager budget compared to other prime time series, it resonated with the public due to its unique name.
