Dashiell Hammett created the character Sam Spade for his crime
story "The Maltese Falcon." Spade was a hard-boiled detective with
cold detachment, a keen eye for detail, and an unflinching
determination to exact his own justice. For most people, Spade is
most closely associated with actor Humphrey Bogart, who played him
in the third and most famous film version of "The Maltese Falcon."
In 1946 one of radio s top producers, William Spier, brought Sam
Spade to the airwaves in a radio show starring newcomer Howard
Duff, who took a considerably more tongue-in-cheek approach to the
character. Duff remained Spade until 1951.
Dashiell Hammett lent his name to the new series, and Lurene
Tuttle (and occasionally Sandra Gould) played Spade s secretary,
Effie Perrine. In 1947 the program won scriptwriters Jason James
and Bob Tallman an Edgar Award for Best Radio Drama from the
Mystery Writers of America."
