Gang Busters
''Gang Busters'' is an American dramatic radio program heralded as "the only national program that brings you authentic police case histories." It premiered on January 15, 1936 and was broadcast for more 21 years through November 27, 1957. History Magazines of the true crime variety were highly popular in the 1930s and the film '' G Men'' starring James Cagney, released in the spring of 1935, found a large audience. Producer-director Phillips H. Lord believed that there was a place on radio for a show of the same type. To emphasize the authenticity of his dramatizations, Lord produced the initial radio show, ''G-Men'', in close association with FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, who was not favorable to the idea of such a program, but U. S. attorney general Homer Stille Cummings contributed his full support.Kathleen Battles, ''Calling All Cars: Radio Dragnets and the Technology of Policing'', University of Minnesota Press, Minneapolis (2010). ''G-Men'' dramatized FBI cases, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
