Hogan detective crime anti-Nazi mystery thriller ("When Nazis meet Ellery ...They meet their Waterloo!"; "The enemy takes over a swank New York club... but watch Ellery take over the enemy!"; "Ellery pits Yankee brains against Nazi cunning... to bring you thrills and chills!"; "See the sleuth of the air waves send a wave of terror through the ranks of Nazi spies!"; "When the Nazis meet fiction and radio's most famous sleuth... they meet their Waterloo!"; "Story by Ellery Queen"; based on the classic character created by Frederic Dannay and Manfred Lee, who together wrote under the pseudonym Ellery Queen) starring William Gargan (in the title role "as Ellery Queen"), Margaret Lindsay ("as Nikki Porter"), Charley Grapewin, Gale Sondergaard, Gilbert Roland, Sig Ruman, James Burke, and Ludwig Donath. Note that this classic series of novels first came to the screen in 1935, as a Monogram movie, called "The Spanish Cape Mystery", starring Donald Cook in the lead role. They followed it with a sequel the next year, replacing Cook with Eddie Quillan. Neither movie did that well at the box office, and Monogram dropped the series. Columbia bought the rights in 1940, when they made "Ellery Queen, Master Detective", with Ralph Bellamy taking over in the lead role, and six more movies were made the next two years, and then the series stopped again. A TV series "The Adventures of Ellery Queen", began in 1950 with Richard Hart in the lead role. The next season he was replaced by Lee Bowman, who lasted three years and then was replaced by Hugh Marlowe, who played the character for five years, and then the series ended. After a two year gap, "The Further Adventures of Ellery Queen" aired on TV starring George Nader for one season, and then Lee Philips for another season. The character was not revived until 1975, when Jim Hutton played the lead role in the TV series "Ellery Queen", but it only lasted one season. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
