I have the entire BOSTON BLACKIE TV series on DVD. Kent Taylor was a fine actor dating back to the 1930s, and he makes an excellent small screen Blackie. The great Chester Morris essayed the role in 14 feature films as well as on radio.

Thanks for bringing back "Boston Blackie." As a small child, I watched these devotedly on an old RCA black and white set. He had a dog named Whitey, and I had one named Boston Blackie.
Excellent audio and visual from a television program aired in the early 1950's. The plot and acting were good.

They made phones available for installation in cars starting in 1946. They were extremely pricey. Even in early 1970s some people I knew were paying $700 to $1,500 a month -- it was more a status symbol but I suppose heavy hitters or high rollers could afford them and get good use from them

He was good in every role I saw him in. I especially liked his performance as a mute in the 69 minute 1943 Val Lewton (he alao did 2 more at RKO for Lewton) film The Ghost Ship which went unseen for about 50 years over a copyright lawsuit. He was in a lot of horror films and a couple of 1940s Dick Tracy movies. He died in 1955 at only 43 years of age from cirrhosis of the liver from his long term alcoholism
