Actually, there were two Bogart radio versions of FALCON. The
first, run on 3 July 1946 on ACADEMY AWARD THEATRE, was a
half-hour version starring Bogart, Mary Astor, and Sidney
Greenstreet in their original screen roles.
The second, also a half-hour version, was run on SCREEN GUILD
THEATRE on 18 May 1950. It starred Bogart and Lauren Bacall
as Spade and Brigid.
An earlier one-hour version, run on LUX RADIO THEATRE on 8
Feb 1943, starred Edward G. Robinson as Spade, Gail Patrick
(who later produced the PERRY MASON TV series) as Brigid, and
Laird Cregar as Gutman.
