The Shadow aired for 22 years, from 1932 to 1954, and followed the exploits of amateur detective Lamont Cranston and his companion Margo Lane. Cranston learned the secret of clouding men’s minds to make him invisible, allowing him to become The Shadow and work on the side of law enforcement to prove to young and old alike that crime does not pay! Over the 22 years, Cranston was portrayed by Frank Readick (although none of his 86 episodes appear to have survived), the legendary Orson Welles, Bill Johnstone and Bret Morrison. The lovely Margo Lane was portrayed by the exceptional Agnes Moorehead, Marjorie Anderson, Lesley Woods and Grace Matthews.
We do live stream uploads at 9 PM EST on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday of different shows, at least for a while, if you’d like to join us for the chat room where we talk of “the good old days”.
We will put these in play lists as we upload them in order for you to be able to find all of each separate show that we put up. The Shadow will have it’s own play list, Dragnet will have it’s own playlist etc.
