The Green Hornet


(4.6 estrellas; 16 reseñas)

Classified as a juvenile crime drama but written and acted with more adult style than most of the breed, "The Green Hornet" features a protagonist who fought crime by infiltrating or even partnering with known criminal operations, deceiving police into believing him a wanted criminal himself.

The show originated from Detroit WXZY in 1936 and was picked up for network broadcast by Mutual in 1938; NBC Blue Network (later ABC) picked up the show in 1939. It left radio as an actively-produced series in 1952, though reruns of several shows were known to have aired as late as 1954.

Reseñas

Mike Wallace was once announcer for "The Green Hornet"


(5 estrellas)

Famed "60 Minutes" TV news show correspondent was for a while previously the announcer for "The Green Hornet" radio program. These shows are in pretty good shape. They do need some mid range boost and low frequency cut at times from the few shows I'm hearing now. Like "The Lone Ranger," the shows used classical music passages for production music cues. However TGH tried to use different cues. Music from Stravinsky's "The Firebird" is often used.

Note to Aquilla


Aquilla---Kato never addressed the Hornet as "Mr. Britt" or "Mr. Reid" publicly, only when they were alone together. It sounds as though he did it in public because of some of the sonic ambience of the show, but he only ever did so when they were alone.

Good but strange

I've liked the Green Hornet since the TV show in the Sixties. It really peaked my interest when I learned he was related to the Lone Ranger. As I listened to these shows I wondered if his identity was a secret, why did kato so often call the Hornet "mr. Britt" in public? Didn't the writers notice that?

I can listen to these stories over and over unlike some others!

Memories

Wow, these bring back memories! I used to listen to The Green Hornet on radio with my Dad back in the late 1940s and very early 50s! Dad passed away nearly 30 years ago but listening to some of these shows is almost like being back in time with him!

Miss Case

Thank you for preserving and sharing these old radio dramas. I notice that Leonore Allman (Miss Case) does not have her dates as some of the other actors do in the description. She lived from 1908-1989.
