Crime Classics is a United States <a href="Radio" title="Radio">radio</a> <a href="Docudrama" title="Docudrama">docudrama</a> which aired as a <a href="Sustaining_program" title="Sustaining program">sustaining</a> series over <a href="CBS_Radio" title="CBS Radio">CBS Radio</a> from June 15, 1953, to June 30, 1954.<a href="#cite_note-rcf-1">[1]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2></div>

Produced and directed by radio actor and director <a href="Elliott_Lewis_(radio)" class="mw-redirect" title="Elliott Lewis (radio)">Elliott Lewis</a>, the program was a historical <a href="True_crime_(genre)" class="mw-redirect" title="True crime (genre)">true crime</a> series, examining crimes and murders from the past.<a href="#cite_note-t-2">[2]</a> It grew out of Lewis' personal interest in famous murder cases and took a <a href="Radio_documentary" title="Radio documentary">documentary</a>-like approach to the subject, carefully recreating the facts, personages and feel of the time period. Comparatively little <a href="Dramatic_license" class="mw-redirect" title="Dramatic license">dramatic license</a> was taken with the facts and events, but the tragedy was leavened with humor, expressed largely through the narration.

The crimes dramatized generally covered a broad time and place frame from ancient <a href="Greece" title="Greece">Greece</a> to late 19th-century <a href="United_States" title="United States">America</a>. Each episode in the series was co-written by <a href="Morton_S._Fine" class="mw-redirect" title="Morton S. Fine">Morton Fine</a> and <a href="David_Friedkin" title="David Friedkin">David Friedkin</a>,<a href="#cite_note-rcf-1">[1]</a> in consultation with Lewis, although the scripting process was more a matter of research, as the stories were from "the records of newspapers of every land from every time."<a href="#cite_note-rpoc-3">[3]</a>

The cases ranged from famous assassinations (of <a href="Abraham_Lincoln" title="Abraham Lincoln">Abraham Lincoln</a>, <a href="Leon_Trotsky" title="Leon Trotsky">Leon Trotsky</a>, and <a href="Julius_Caesar" title="Julius Caesar">Julius Caesar</a>) and the lives (and often deaths) of the likes of <a href="Cesare_Borgia" title="Cesare Borgia">Cesare Borgia</a> and <a href="Blackbeard" title="Blackbeard">Blackbeard</a> to more obscure cases, such as <a href="Bathsheba_Spooner" title="Bathsheba Spooner">Bathsheba Spooner</a>, who killed her husband Joshua Spooner in 1778 and became the first woman tried and executed in <a href="United_States_of_America" class="mw-redirect" title="United States of America">America</a>.

The only continuing character was the host/ and narrator, Thomas Hyland, played by <a href="Lou_Merrill" title="Lou Merrill">Lou Merrill</a>.<a href="#cite_note-t-2">[2]</a> Hyland was introduced by the announcer as a "connoisseur of crime, student of violence, and teller of murders." Merrill's deadpan portrayal of Hyland provided the welcome note of tongue-in-cheek humor to the proceedings. Unlike the ghoulish weird storytellers of <a href="The_Whistler_(radio_series)" title="The Whistler (radio series)">The Whistler</a> and <a href="The_Mysterious_Traveler" title="The Mysterious Traveler">The Mysterious Traveler</a>, Hyland was an ordinary fellow who, in a dry, droll manner, would present a tale from his files, his wry comments interspersed between dramatized scenes. The episodes would typically begin with Hyland inviting the audience to listen to a sound, from drops of rain to horses' hooves, and then introducing the main players and events of his report. The titles also contributed to the series' light tone, as they were intentionally pompous and usually laced with irony. Typical titles included "Your Loving Son, <a href="Nero" title="Nero">Nero</a>," "If a Body Needs a Body, Just Call <a href="West_Port_murders" class="mw-redirect" title="West Port murders">Burke and Hare</a>," and "The Axe and the Droot Family... How They Fared".

A roster of Hollywood radio actors filled the various historical roles. <a href="William_Conrad" title="William Conrad">William Conrad</a> was one of the more frequently heard performers, in such diverse parts as <a href="Nero" title="Nero">Nero</a>, Blackbeard, <a href="Pat_Garrett" title="Pat Garrett">Pat Garrett</a> and <a href="King_Arthur" title="King Arthur">King Arthur</a>. Other performers, and the villains and victims they portrayed, included <a href="Jack_Kruschen" title="Jack Kruschen">Jack Kruschen</a> (as <a href="Burke_and_Hare_murders" title="Burke and Hare murders">William Burke</a> and Trotsky assassin <a href="Ram%C3%B3n_Mercader" title="Ramón Mercader">Ramón Mercader</a>), <a href="Jay_Novello" title="Jay Novello">Jay Novello</a> (as <a href="William_Hare_(murderer)" class="mw-redirect" title="William Hare (murderer)">William Hare</a> and <a href="William_Palmer_(murderer)" title="William Palmer (murderer)">Dr. William Palmer</a>), <a href="Mary_Jane_Croft" title="Mary Jane Croft">Mary Jane Croft</a><a href="#cite_note-rp-4">[4]</a> (as Bathsheba Spooner and <a href="Madame_de_Brinvilliers" title="Madame de Brinvilliers">Madame de Brinvilliers</a>), <a href="Betty_Lou_Gerson" title="Betty Lou Gerson">Betty Lou Gerson</a> (as <a href="Agrippina_the_elder" class="mw-redirect" title="Agrippina the elder">Agrippina</a> and <a href="Lucrezia_Borgia" title="Lucrezia Borgia">Lucrezia Borgia</a>), <a href="Edgar_Barrier" title="Edgar Barrier">Edgar Barrier</a> (as Julius Caesar), <a href="Harry_Bartell" title="Harry Bartell">Harry Bartell</a> (as <a href="Marcus_Junius_Brutus" title="Marcus Junius Brutus">Brutus</a>), <a href="Hans_Conried" title="Hans Conried">Hans Conried</a> (as <a href="Ali_Pasha_of_Ioannina" class="mw-redirect" title="Ali Pasha of Ioannina">Ali Pasha</a>), <a href="Herb_Butterfield" title="Herb Butterfield">Herb Butterfield</a><a href="#cite_note-rp-4">[4]</a> (as Lincoln, Trotsky, and <a href="Pimlico_Mystery" title="Pimlico Mystery">Thomas Edwin Bartlett</a>), <a href="Jack_Edwards_(actor)" class="mw-redirect" title="Jack Edwards (actor)">Jack Edwards</a> (as <a href="John_Wilkes_Booth" title="John Wilkes Booth">John Wilkes Booth</a> and <a href="Cole_Younger" title="Cole Younger">Cole Younger</a>), <a href="Irene_Tedrow" title="Irene Tedrow">Irene Tedrow</a> (as <a href="Lizzie_Borden" title="Lizzie Borden">Lizzie Borden</a>), <a href="William_Johnstone_(actor)" title="William Johnstone (actor)">William Johnstone</a><a href="#cite_note-rp-4">[4]</a> (as <a href="Robert_Knox_(surgeon)" title="Robert Knox (surgeon)">Robert Knox</a>), <a href="Betty_Harford" title="Betty Harford">Betty Harford</a> (as <a href="Madeleine_Smith" title="Madeleine Smith">Madeleine Smith</a> and <a href="Jack_the_Ripper" title="Jack the Ripper">Ripper</a> victim <a href="Mary_Jane_Kelly" title="Mary Jane Kelly">Mary Jane Kelly</a>), <a href="Eve_McVeagh" title="Eve McVeagh">Eve McVeagh</a> as Madame <a href="Marie_Lafarge" title="Marie Lafarge">Marie Lafarge</a>, Clayton Post (as <a href="Jesse_James" title="Jesse James">Jesse James</a>), and <a href="Sam_Edwards" title="Sam Edwards">Sam Edwards</a><a href="#cite_note-rp-4">[4]</a> (as <a href="Billy_the_Kid" title="Billy the Kid">Billy the Kid</a> and <a href="Bob_Younger" title="Bob Younger">Bob Younger</a>). <a href="Georgia_Ellis" title="Georgia Ellis">Georgia Ellis</a> and <a href="Tudor_Owen_(actor)" title="Tudor Owen (actor)">Tudor Owen</a> also were heard regularly on the program.<a href="#cite_note-rp-4">[4]</a>

Composer <a href="Bernard_Herrmann" title="Bernard Herrmann">Bernard Herrmann</a> returned to radio to score all but one of the series episodes (with <a href="Wilbur_Hatch" title="Wilbur Hatch">Wilbur Hatch</a> substituting for that entry), capturing the sound and feel of the various time periods simply but elegantly, often with the use of only two or three instruments per episode. During the fall of 1953, the show was scheduled back to back with <a href="On_Stage_(radio_show)" title="On Stage (radio show)">On Stage</a>, another dramatic anthology created by Lewis. He decided to connect the two by presenting "The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln" on Crime Classics while On Stage featured <a href="Our_American_Cousin" title="Our American Cousin">Our American Cousin</a>, the play Lincoln had attended the night of his death. The experiment was unsuccessful, and according to radio historian John Dunning, earned Lewis a rebuke from network head <a href="William_S._Paley" title="William S. Paley">William S. Paley</a>, who advised him to never attempt anything like it again.<a href="#cite_note-Dunning-5">[5]</a>

Episodes included "Good Evening, My Name Is Jack the Ripper" on June 30, 1954, with Betty Hartford portraying Mary Jane Kelly.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a>

Roy Rowan, <a href="Larry_Thor" title="Larry Thor">Larry Thor</a>,<a href="#cite_note-rcf-1">[1]</a> and <a href="Bob_LeMond" title="Bob LeMond">Bob Lemond</a> were the announcers.<a href="#cite_note-rpoc-3">[3]</a> Ken McManus was the director.<a href="#cite_note-rcf-1">[1]</a>

The trade publication <a href="Billboard_(magazine)" title="Billboard (magazine)">Billboard</a> reported in 1956 that Tomado Productions would begin filming Crime Classics for television. Merrill was to continue as host, with Lewis as executive producer and <a href="Robert_Florey" title="Robert Florey">Robert Florey</a> as director.<a href="#cite_note-bb-7">[7]</a> The episode was not broadcast.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a>
