I have many Sam Spade adventures and have listened to them many times. Though less faithful to the original than the early Philip Marlowe radio episodes, it's my favorite radio private eye show, and Howard Duff's voice and narration is absolutely perfect. In fact, when reading Nero Wolfe stories, it's always Duff's voice in my head as Archie Goodwin.
Until I started looking at these listings, I had no idea so many of the episodes were based on Hammett stories - mostly Op stories, of course. Too bad so many of them are lost.
