"William Gargan played the lead on both radio and TV, until the TV shows became (as he alleged in his autobiography) "a vehicle for the flesh parade." The actresses were "pretty and emptyheaded," hired more for "cleavage" than acting ability. He threw down the gauntlet--"get decent scripts or get another boy." He was replaced by Lloyd Nolan on both shows. But Gargan sidestepped into a sound-alike series, Barrie Craig, on radio alone, where cleavage wasn't a factor."
