Barrie Craig, Confidential Investigator was a detective drama heard on NBC 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.[1]
Don Pardo was the announcer.[3]
Gargan also starred in the role in an unsuccessful 1952 TV pilot[4] written and directed by Blake Edwards. It was presented on ABC's Pepsi-Cola Playhouse as "Death the Hard Way" (October 17, 1954).
A few years earlier Gargan had played a similar character in Martin Kane, Private Eye.
