John Dunning Quote
On radio, the character’s name was Michael Waring. Each show began with a telephone ringing. It was always a woman calling. Waring, whose smooth voice was laced with a hint of the British, usually addressed her as angel, or some other endearment; inevitably he had to beg out of a date, using such excuses as I’ve got to teach some gangsters that you can’t get away with murder, especially since the murder they want to get away with is mine. This preceded the opening signature. Waring’s methods crossed somewhere between Ellery Queen and Richard Diamond: he had a certain eye for detail but was frequently on the outs with the cops. The police were usually portrayed as stumblebums, and Waring was quick to point that out in snappy, sarcastic dialogue.
