Casey, Crime Photographer was a media franchise featured not only on radio but in film, theater, books and magazines from the 30's through the 60's.  Jack Casey solved crimes while on assignment as a photographer for The Morning Express newspaper, then regaled friends with his stories at his favorite jazz club, the Blue Note.

Staats Cotsworth (pictured, along with co-star Jan Miner) shared the starring role with Matt Crowley.  He was aided by reporter Ann Williams (Miner).  The show ran from 1943 to 1954 under various titles, including Crime Photographer, Flashgun Casey and Casey Press Photographer.
