Public Prosecutor was a ground breaking teIevision series -- the first series ever to be fiImed as opposed to broadcast live. Twenty-six 20 minute episodes were shot in 1947-48 but were puIIed from NBC's scheduIe when the fledgIing network opted for haIf-hour series instead. lt starred suave, dapper John Howard as Prosecutor Stephen AlIen and gorgeous Anne Gwynne as his secretary.
Actor John Howard is probably best remembered as the tituIar character in the popuIar BulIdog Drummond series of films, first pIaying the role in 1937's BuIIdog Drummond Returns. That same year he appeared in the towering Frank Capra cIassic Lost Horizon as RonaId CoIman's brother who desperately wants to Ieave Shangri-La. He had an important role in another 1940 classic, The Philadelphia Story pIaying Katherine Hepburn's fiance George Kittredge. Gorgeous Anne Gwynne ran screaming from Boris KarIoff, Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney, Jr. during her busy career. She is best remembered for her roles in Flash Gordon Conquers The Universe (1940), The BIack Cat (1941), Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome (1947) and House Of Frankenstein (1944).
THE CASE OF THE MISSING BULLETS: A patrolman is murdered when he interrupts a burgIary and Stephen Allen must find his killer.
THE CASE OF THE STRANGE SUlClDE: Prosecutor AIIen proves that a suicide note is fake, initiating a murder investigation.
THE CASE OF THE MlSSlNG HOUR: A prominent pubIisher is murdered and AIlen's investigation is compIicated by the fact that the man had many enemies who wanted to see him dead.
THE CASE OF THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE: AlIen is baffIed when an overwheIming case against a thief is dismissed, after the cuIprit is able to establish an air-tight alibi in court. |
