The
Adventures of the Thin Man radio series, initially
starring Les Damon, was broadcast on all four major
radio networks during the years 1941 to 1950. Claudia
Morgan had the female lead role of Nora Charles
throughout the program's entire nine-year run. The radio
series was modeled after the film series which was based
on the 1934 Dashiell Hammett novel.
The
first series, sponsored by Woodbury Soap, aired on NBC
Wednesdays at 8pm from July 2, 1941 to December 23,
1942. Les Damon portrayed detective Nick Charles, and he
continued in the role into 1943.
Sponsored by General Foods (Post Toasties, Maxwell House
Coffee, Sanka), the next series began on CBS January 8,
1943, airing on Fridays at 8:30pm and some Sunday
timeslots and continuing until December 26, 1947. Les
Tremayne and David Gothard were heard as Nick Charles in
1944-45, with Tremayne still in the role in 1945-46. Les
Damon returned as Nick in 1946-47, with Tremayne back in
1948-49. The last actor to do the part was Joseph Curtin
in 1950.
