Great 5 Star Review of GOLD DIGGER


Great 5 Star Review of GOLD DIGGER

THE CASES OF EDDIE DRAKE



This very short lived series ran originally on CBS and was picked up by DuMont before being cancelled after 13 episodes. Surprisingly well done and unlike most shows of the era was filmed and doesn't just exist as kinescopes. Although some quality is lost by compression to YouTube this is taken from 16mm and should have more detail than most bargain basement versions floating around. Episode title is "Shoot The Works". This was filmed in 1949 but not broadcast until 1952... Enjoy!
