The sound is a little rough on this one, compared to other "Rogue's Gallery" episodes we've heard. I did my best to clean this one up so it is more listenable.

I even used "AI Tools" to help with this one. Can you guess what I did? (I'll reveal during "Revelations" in hour two.)

I don't know why, but to my ear, the original recording of this episode sounds a tad slow. Before I did anything else to this show, I tried to get the speed corrected. But any faster sounded too fast, even by the tiniest fraction. So I decided to leave the speed as it. Maybe the quality of this recording is making me "think" it's a little slow, but it isn't?

"A Man Named Rocky Jordan" was the name of a short-run version of this show, from 1945. But this is the more well known, and better, show featuring the same character. But the phrase "A Man Named Jordan" will pop up pretty often, to reference that show.

I think there were "rudimentary" laws in place (thought not many) that limited the things you could say about cigarettes. I think a lot of people ended up aping the same copy, as no one knew how to sell something that isn't good for you.

"The Adventures of Rocky Jordan," was produced by "Santana Productions," the studio that produced "Bold Venture," and owned by Bogart & Bacall.

Bogart had been asked to do a version of "Casablanca" for the radio for years, and was not interested in turning the show into something that was serialized. But his production company was happy to do it with another actor, and re-tooled the older premise of "A Man Named Jordan" for this show, staring Jack Moyles in the lead (who was known for having a lot of range for voices on the radio). While not exactly a Bogart impression, it's as if the characters probably grew up in the same neighborhood.

There's some noise in the back of this episode, but try as I might, everything I did to remove it ruined the sound of the show, so I left it in.

Most Old Time Radio shows were archived by fans on cassette (or in may cases, reel to reel). So many of the versions of these shows that survive into the modern age have the same sound limitations as the tape they were originally captured on.

While Rocky does get knocked out from time to time, it's not exactly a gimmick for him. Still... will it happen next time...? Who can say? That's often half the fun of these shows: who's going to suffer brain damage the most?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:48pm
Austin Rich:

Jay Novello does the voice of Sam Sabaaya. Jay is American, as near as I can figure, and was known for his ability to do "impressions." (Often, voices of people from other countries.) So accents like this were sort of what he was known for... and it wasn't really cool then, either.

Jay was in a million TV shows, movies, and radio shows... and was a very skilled actor. And he adds a lot of character to Sam, a character that could be a boring cop. Still, it's a little weird to hear this accent, given the person playing the character.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:50pm
Austin Rich:

We learn more and more about Rocky Jordan as the show goes on, but all we really know about him at this point is he's an American now living in Cario, runing the Cafe Tamborine. We'll add to that backstore as time goes on.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:53pm
Austin Rich:

During Rocky's conversation with Sam, he implies that Sam has warned him about getting in trouble with cases like this before. (And this is the first episode.) A sly, "meta" reference to the previous version of this show, from 1945.

I don't know if this is any help to you but back in the 90s when I was sound editing and there wasn't really internet I was using sound effects on CD and I got the impression that these were effects that had been used for decades (and I could recognize some of them in other productions) But I don't know if NBC would have these copyrighted and therefore not on the sound effect CDs.

"Casablanca" has been radio-adapted a few times.
I heard the first one (broadcast in 1943, condensed to a half-hour) repeated on CHML (900 AM) not long ago. Bogart, Bergman and Henreid reprised their film roles!

Oh, yes, that's true! I should revise my comments, since he did do the story again. He was just not interested in a serialized version of the story, as he sort of saw it as a one-and-done idea.

As opposed to the Lives of Harry Lime, which I don't think Welles liked doing too much.

I think that one paid the bills for him, so he liked it that much. But I'm certainly a bigger fan of that show than he is.

I need a pair of flunkies that I can refer to as, "you apes."

I don't recall a "Harvey's Comet" anywhere in my schooling, but maybe I'm wrong?

Some indie-company, doing an overview of the character. I'll have to dig up the info.
