Description
The Saint hit radio in January 1945, but Leslie Charteris’ “Robin Hood of Modern Crime” didn’t find long-lasting success on the air until 1947 when big screen star Vincent Price donned Simon Templar’s halo. In honor of his radio anniversary, we’ll hear two mysteries starring the Saint. Price is Templar in “No Hiding Place” (originally aired on November 19, 1950). Then, Tom Conway steps in as the heavenly hero in “Death of a Cowboy” (originally aired on July 1, 1951).
