Get aquainted or re-aquainted with talk radio. I'm not talking about one of those morning shows, I mean the real old time mystery shows on radio. Of course there is nothing better than a good mystery movie like The Maltese Falcon but these old shows run a close second. Wait until you hear chapters from Third Man with Joseph Cotten and Evelyn Keyes. Listen for the Third Man theme played on the zither.The Third Man (50th Anniversary Edition) movie stars Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles.

Just take a break and listen to these radio shows. Bulldogg Drummond's introduction music is chilling.
