Crime Classics was a radio series that delved into true crime stories from the records and newspapers of various lands and times. The show&#39;s host, Mr. Thomas Hyland, was played by Lou Merrill, who portrayed the character as a measured and mild-mannered lecturer. Each episode was based on a true story that was meticulously researched and presented with sophistication and mood, supported by sensitive orchestral scores composed by Bernard Herrmann and tasteful sound effects. The show stood out for its wry, cool-blooded tone and its ability to bring out interesting background details in historical crimes.</p><p>The show aired from September 30, 1953, to June 30, 1954, on CBS Radio, with a total of 52 episodes. Crime Classics was produced and directed by Elliott Lewis, a prolific actor, producer, and director known for his work on Suspense, Broadway is My Beat, and On Stage. Writers Morton Fine and David Friedkin were responsible for the show&#39;s well-researched scripts. The show is considered a good companion to other historically-oriented radio shows such as Cavalcade of America, You Are There, and The American Trail.
