Australian Old Time Radio - Gregory Keen Dossier On Dumetrius

(4 stars; 1 reviews)

In Dossier on Dumetrius, an International criminal known as Dumetrius comes to London from occupied Berlin. However, MI-5 discovers that he committed a murder in killing an officer in Berlin. Dumetrius seeks to kill off anyone who saw him on the flight other than his confederates and collect one million pounds of stolen Nazi loot. This 1951 Australian radio production has a lot to commend it. It’s 104 part epic that is chock full of action, suspense, and foreign intrigue. We follow Major Gregory Keen (Bruce Stewart) of MI-5 as he follow Dumetrius’ trail with the aid of Sgt. Tommy Coutts and a cast of characters. At the same time, Keen has fallen hard for femme fatale Heddy Bergner, one of Dumetrius’ cohorts. Like all good serial dramas, Dossier on Dumetrius is highly addictive with well-written and well-timed cliffhangers that keep you chomping at the bit, excited to find out more. Series Star Bruce Stewart was a native of New Zealand and it’s said that parliament adjourned early that day to hear the concluding episode.
