Created by Blake Edwards, "Richard Diamond, Private Detective"
came to NBC Radio in 1949, starring film actor and crooner Dick
Powell. Powell had recently played Philip Marlowe in the popular
RKO film "Murder, My Sweet" and jumped at the chance to play a
suave detective on the radio. Diamond was a lighthearted, New York
based private eye who enjoyed ribbing the cops and singing songs to
his millionaire girlfriend, Helen Asher. Its theme, Leave it to
Love, was whistled by Powell at the beginning of each episode.
Powell s production company, Four Star Television, produced a
version of "Richard Diamond, Private Detective" for CBS in 1957.
The lead role went to David Janssen, who would later gain fame as
Dr. Richard Kimble on "The Fugitive." Sam, Diamond s beautiful
secretary, was only ever shown from the waist down. Those beautiful
legs belonged to Mary Tyler Moore, as well as other actresses."
