Philo Vance was the star of a number of murder mystery novels and movies that were popular during the 1920s and ‘30s. Like so many other investigators, he made the leap to radio and TV. In this episode of The Adventures of Philo Vance, a newspaper reporter on her way to interview Vance about his career is mysteriously killed on in the back of taxi. Whodunit and how will be up to Vance to figure out. Then it’s another typical life in the week of Italian immigrant Luigi Basco on Life With Luigi. Luigi may have a little trouble with English, but his affection and appreciation for his new home in America are unassailable. This warm-hearted comedy about post-World War II émigrés is the perfect antidote for anyone feeling there’s nothing special about the United States.
