We tip our fedora to Howard Duff in honor of the star\\u2019s November 24th birthday. To celebrate, we\\u2019ll hear him in his signature role as Dashiell Hammett\\u2019s famous private detective Sam Spade. With his wry humor and unique take on the material, Duff as Spade gave us one of the best gumshoes of the era. We\\u2019ll hear him in two episodes of\\xa0The Adventures of Sam Spade:\\xa0\\u201cThe Bow Window Caper\\u201d (originally aired on CBS on November 9, 1947) and \\u201cThe Stopped Watch Caper\\u201d (originally aired on CBS on April 10, 1949). Finally, Sam gets his craziest caper ever when he meets Gracie Allen in a comedy episode from February 10, 1949.
