Episode: Episode #217: Top 10 Radio Noir: The Glass Key
Description: Dashiell Hammett, the author of "The Maltese Falcon," wrote another famous novel, "The Glass Key." It's a murder mystery that revolves around the seedy world of corrupt politicians, crime syndicates, and grift. Today in our journey through "radio noir" we are bringing you Orson Welles's nuanced adaptation of the story. Although it has all the hallmarks of noir, including murky motives and startling bursts of violence, don't expect a mile-a-minute, action-packed juvenile pulp adventure here. What it does have is underplayed performances, interesting character relationships, and a more cerebral crime noir.
