	"Richard Diamond, Private Detective" (1957) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Plot Summary: Richard Diamond is a suave private eye who, at first, walks the mean streets of New York, then later packs up and moves to Los Angeles...
		"Richard Diamond" was one of the all-time great private eye television shows from the late 1950's.
		Sam is only shown in profile from the shoulders down seated in front of a switch board, in tight fitting dresses, legs crossed and usually dangling a stiletto-heeled shoe from her toe as she delivers Richard's messages in a breathy low husky voice.

	Richard Diamond
		Richard’s inside work with the police department gave him an edge other private detectives didn’t have, helping him to solve many a stubborn case.
		The Hollywood episodes gave Diamond a new friend on the Los Angeles Police Department in Lieutenant Pete Kile (Russ Conway); another cop named Sergeant Alden (Richard Devon) was always trying to get the gumshoe.
		Richard Diamond, Private Detective left CBS for NBC in 1959, but the final episode aired in September 1960.

		Of all the screen incarnations of Raymond Chandler’s famous detective (with the exception of George Montgomery, whose The Brasher Doubloon [1947] I have not seen), I think Powell’s portrayal is the best.
		Diamond saved most of his suffer-no-fools disdain for desk sergeant Otis Ludlum (Wilms Herbert), a dimwit who had to have a relative at City Hall protecting his job.
		Powell brought Richard Diamond, Private Detective to the tube, in a 1957-60 series that bore no resemblance at all to its radio namesake (David Janssen played the title role).

		For the TV series, Diamond was changed from a former OSS operative to an ex-cop, which explained his easy access to information and help from his former boss, Lieutenant McGough.
		For the first two seasons, Diamond remained in New York City, but then he moved to Los Angeles and acquired a girlfriend, played by Barbara Bain, and a car with a telephone in it.
		This allowed him to converse regularly with a sexy answering-service operator known only as "Sam", whose legs were seen but never her face.

	The David Janssen Archive
		Producer-actor Dick Powell, who'd originated the RICHARD DIAMOND role on radio, had decided not to do the TV series ("I can't hold my stomach in for 39 weeks") and that it was a job for a new guy.
		The RICHARD DIAMOND team was struggling to cast the role.
		Soliciting opinions from others, including his mother, Janssen took the DIAMOND offer, which he felt would prevent him from being type-cast as a cowboy, and allowed him to dress in the sharp modern dress clothing he was partial to.

	Richard Diamond: Private Detective \| Pluggd - Discover, Listen to, and Share Podcasts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Diamond is a happy-go-lucky detective who answers his telephone with atrocious commercial jingles and is a master of the verbal put-down (especially with police).
		His relationship with frustrated Lt. Walt Levinson is abrasive but rooted in honest affection, and his special delight is ribbing the stupid desk sergeant, Otis, a stock character inserted strictly for laughs.
		The opening each week sets up the problem and propells the sarcasm with the cops; the ending usually found Diamond in the Park Avenue penthouse of his girlfriend, the rich redhead Helen Asher.

		Richard Diamond bore a not-unintentional resemblance to another wisecracking detective of the airwaves, namely Sam Spade (as in “The Adventures of”).
		Both shamuses - Powell as Diamond, Howard Duff as Spade - demonstrated a breezy insouciance that added a much-needed touch of levity to the type of detective show that was often in danger of sinking under the weight of its own clichés.
		Diamond reserved his suffer-no-fools disdain for Sergeant Otis Ludlum, a cop who had such a force field of stupidity surrounding him that you just know he had to have a relative at City Hall looking after his job.

		Richard Diamond, Private Detective proved to be the perfect radio vehicle for actor-singer Dick Powell, combining his tough-guy image, showcased in the 1944 film ÃïïMurder, My SweetÃïï and the 1945-46 radio series ÃïïRogueÃïïs Gallery,Ãïï with his tremendous talent for a song, as all those 1930s Warner Brothers/Fox musicals will bear out.
		The detective series, created by an aspiring screenwriter named Blake Edwards, featured a hard-boiled detective who rarely took himself too seriously; Edwards, the future director of the ÃïïPink PantherÃïï film series, conceived the Diamond character as an ex-cop who had decided to hang out his own shingle in the investigation business.
