In 'Love Letters From a Stranger\", a young woman consults a psychic about notes she has been receiving from an unhinged admirer. Director Robert Aldrich later made classics like \u003ci\u003eKiss Me Deadly\u003c\/i\u003e (1955), \u003ci\u003eWhat Ever Happened to Baby Jane?\u003c\/i\u003e (1962), \u003ci\u003eHush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte\u003c\/i\u003e (1964) and \u003ci\u003eThe Dirty Dozen\u003c\/i\u003e (1967).\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eTHE CASES OF EDDIE DRAKE 'SHOOT THE WORKS' (1952):\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Cases of Eddie Drake\u003c\/i\u003e was a nine-episode series filmed by CBS in 1949, adapted from the radio show \u003ci\u003eThe Cases of Mr. Ace\u003c\/i\u003e. The program wasn't broadcast until 1952, when it was purchased by the fledgling DuMont Network. The series starred Don Haggerty as hard-boiled private eye Eddie Drake, and Patricia Morison as beautiful \"lady psychoanalyst\" Dr. Karen Gayle, who had a sparring, sexually charged relationship (Eddie's cases were fodder for a book on criminal behavior Dr. Gayle was writing.) In \"Shoot the Works\", Eddie becomes involved with a \u003ci\u003efemme fatale\u003c\/i\u003e who hires him to recover a stolen diamond watch. After encountering the woman's string of lovers, Eddie quickly realizes there's a lot more at stake in this case than just some jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE FILES OF JEFFREY JONES 'THE DUSTY DOLL' (1952):\u003c\/b\u003e For less than a season on CBS, \u003ci\u003eThe Files of Jeffrey Jones\u003c\/i\u003e documented the adventures of an ex-G.I. working his way through law school moonlighting as a Hollywood private eye. In 'The Dusty Doll', Jeffrey poses as a drifter to infiltrate a hobo camp where two wanted killers are hiding. Because they both starred Don Haggerty as a private eye, \u003ci\u003eThe Files of Jeffrey Jones\u003c\/i\u003e is often confused with \u003ci\u003eThe Cases of Eddie Drake\u003c\/i\u003e, which aired on DuMont the same year. Director Lew Landers worked for nearly every studio in Hollywood making low-budget thrillers (\u003ci\u003eThe Raven\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTokyo Rose\u003c\/i\u003e) but by this time had turned his attention to television, later directing popular series like \u003ci\u003eTopper\u003c\/i\u003e (1953-1955) and \u003ci\u003eHighway Patrol\u003c\/i\u003e (1955-1959).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE TELLTALE CLUE 'THE CASE OF THE HIT AND RUN' (1954):\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Telltale Clue\u003c\/i\u003e was a replacement for \u003ci\u003ePublic Defender\u003c\/i\u003e in the summer of 1954 (CBS moved that Reed Hadley crime drama to Thursday nights to give \u003ci\u003eI Love Lucy\u003c\/i\u003e a summer break.) It starred Broadway actor Anthony Ross as detective Richard Hale, a criminologist who uses advanced scientific equipment to solve seemingly 'perfect crimes.' In 'The Case of the Hit and Run', an accident that took a man's life is a seemingly open-and-shut case...until Hale discovers that the automobile in question belonged to the deceased victim! Anthony Ross went back to Broadway when \u003ci\u003eThe Telltale Clue\u003c\/i\u003e ran its course in September 1954, playing the role of Dr. Lyman in \u003ci\u003eBus Stop\u003c\/i\u003e. After the October 26, 1955 evening performance, Hale returned home and died of a heart attack in his sleep. He was 46 years old.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha Video","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":45802307125398,"sku":"089218821294","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/9621\/5446\/files\/089218821294.jpg?v=1762193500","url":"https:\/\/moviezyng.com\/products\/lost-tv-mystery-classics-vol-2","provider":"Movie Zyng","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
