1949: Can a man live with his conscience after committing a terrible crime?

Humphrey Bogart stars as Larry in James M Cain's famed tale - adapted for American radio - as a voice from beyond the grave, seeking justice for a crime that seems to have gone unpunished.

Humphrey Bogart (1899 - 1957) was an iconic star of the American silver screen - playing classic bad guys and coming late to leading man status in legendary films like The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca and The African Queen. But he also made numerous radio appearances.

James M Cain was an American master of 'hardboiled' crime fiction. His depression era tales of crooks, blackmail and murder became classic 1940s film noir, including The Postman Always Rings Twice, Mildred Pierce and Double Indemnity.
