About this listen
"You walk the pavement, spangled with a thousand colors, but between the light…that's where the darkness is. It's Broadway…my beat."
Larry Thor, a staff announcer turned actor with an expressive and powerful voice, played the role of Detective Danny Clover. His beat was Broadway, and each week he narrated a new tale of nighttime drama along the Great White Way.
Writers Morton Fine and David Friedkin delivered scripts of elegant intricacy that turned routine description into near poetry. Three soundmen worked in unison to create one of the densest soundscapes on radio - capturing the chaotic buzz of the New York night as a counterpoint to the music and dialogue. Produced and directed by Elliott Lewis, it was the most lyrical crime show on the air.
In eight digitally remastered episodes, when quiet women and well-off men meet unfortunate ends, Clover is there - backed up by loyal friends Sgt. Tartaglia (Charles Calvert) and Sgt. Muggavan (Jack Kruschen).
Episodes Include: The Sybil Crane Murder Case 05-09-53, The Barbara Hunt Murder Case 05-16-53, The Robin Forrest Murder Case 05-23-53, The Ruth Shay Murder Case 05-30-53, The John Nelson Murder Case 06-06-53, The George Lane Murder Case 06-13-53, The Joan Parker Murder Case 06-20-53, The Sophie Bretton Murder Case 06-27-53

For Detective Danny Clover, Broadway is more than just a street - it’s a living, breathing creature with a mood and a style all its own. Radio’s most lyrical crime drama comes to life in this collection, Broadway’s My Beat, featuring 16 unique tales of murder along the main stem. The series’ purple prose is counterbalanced by the gritty realism that was a specialty of the 16th Precinct and its endearingly eccentric characters. Larry Thor stars as Clover, with Charles Calvert as Sgt. Tartaglia and Jack Kruschen as Detective Muggavan.

Story5 out of 5 stars 2
NYPD detective Danny Clover, poignantly portrayed by Larry Thor, patrols The Great White Way. With each block he bears witness to regret and redemption, to desperation and debauchery, to wealth and want. Each leaves its mark on this poetic policeman. At Clover’s side, and covering his back, are Sgt. Tartaglia (Charles Calvert) and Sgt. Muggavan (Jack Kruschen). The unhappy endings of hard luck stories drive Danny to search for justice - pounding the pavement to track down an eye witness, find that one scrap of evidence, or just to walk until it all makes sense.

The world-weary private investigator Harry Nile is one step ahead of the mob, but one step behind the bill collectors. That's why he takes pretty much any case he can catch—from robbery to kidnapping to murder. Phil Harper stars as Harry in twenty-one mood-filled mysteries, aided and assisted by Pat French as Murphy, his secretary extraordinaire. This is classic radio noir for a new generation, created and produced by Jim French.
