Attaboy Clarence returns, and to usher in the summer let's step into the shadows with two fine examples of Golden Age thrillers that bear more than a passing resemblance to the work of The Master Of Suspense - one tells the tale of a blind playwright who overhears a most diabolical plot, and the other is the twisted story of a murderous couple with very different ideas about the outcome of their relationship... There's another chance to guess the identity of a famous Hollywood star in Who The Hell Is That Hollywood Legend? See whattawa it's all about with the all-new Ottawa Song, and there's a ..read more

In this episode of Attaboy Clarence, the spotlight falls on one of Hollywood's most talented, yet undersung leading men - Ricardo Cortez - the man who brought a certain sense of sparkle to every genre in Old Hollywood (he was cinema's first ever Sam Spade!) I'll be taking you through three Ricardo Cortez classics, including a Pre-Code shocker from the pen of Anita Loos, a murder mystery with an intriguing background, and a satirical take on Hollywood life with added espionage! Radio entertainment this time comes courtesy of a strangely-named, but endearingly charming hour from the past... Sign ..read more

Saddle up and let's head on off... out... in (?) to adventure as I embrace the genre that's always been a little elusive to me - the western! I'll tell you all about two examples of western storytelling that I consider to be just swell. One is a genre-bending horror thriller produced by cinema's greatest horror maestro. The other is the deeply affecting tale of three criminals who find themselves on the road to redemption when they decide to save the life of a child... There's music from Hank Williams, some painting advice from everyone's favourite screen star, and a gut-wrenching radio advent ..read more

This time round, we turn the show over to France's gift to the Golden Age of Hollywood, the man who always made something to surprise his audiences: Jacques Tourneur! Many remember him as the man who helped Val Lewton to establish a new and unique brand of cinematic horror, but his back catalogue also contains some wonderfully dramatic programmers, gothic melodramas, and of course, film noir... In this episode I'll tell you about two fantastic, under-seen Tourneur gems - Experiment Perilous starring Hedy Lamarr, and Phantom Raiders starring Walter Pidgeon and Donald Meek! There's a dip into th ..read more
