A good cold war era TV Spy versus Spy show was “I led 3 lives.”
He actually led 3 Lives. It is Herbert A. Philbrick’s classic memoir of his life in espionage. ... From 1949 till he quit, he led three lives: ordinary American citizen, communist conspirator. counter spy for the FBI. Some decent
Drama from the early 1950’s.
“Some decent
Drama from the early 1950’s.”
I remember somebody would be shot with a .38 and they’d check all the local stores to see who had bought .38 ammo and...viola! They’d nail the killer. Even today the dramas act like the entire department jumps right on a murder case. Yeah, right. In reality, if the murderer doesn’t fall in their lap in 72 hours it joins the ocean of other unsolved murders.
“I led 3 lives.”
I remember that Mom and Dad never missed an episode of that show.
