Considered by many radio fans and collectors as the greatest radio adventure serial of all time, I Love a Mystery (or ILAM) was written and directed by Carlton E. Morse. ILAM first appeared on NBC’s Pacific Coast outlets back in January 1939, went coast to coast later that fall, and appeared on-and-off over nearly every broadcast network until the final reprisal show at the end of 1953. Of particular interest here is the movie series. All three films were directed by Henry Levin and starred Jim Bannon as the legendary Jack Packard with Barton Yarborough reprising his radio role as Doc Long. The first film closely follows radio's The Decapitation of Jefferson Monk and the influence of Carlton E. Morse is quite noticeable with smatterings of the actual dialogue from the original radio show. It’s a greatly intriguing who-dunnit-it which the Public Broadcasting System saw fit include in its list of film classics
