Description by OLDIES.com:

THE HUNTER (1952): An undercover agent needs to ferret out a Soviet spy posing as a member of an acting troupe traveling on a flight to London. Barry Nelson starred as a Cold War spy in the television series "The Hunter" for 13 episodes that aired on CBS in 1952. Directed by Oscar Rudolph.

THE SHADOW: HOUSE OF MYSTERY (1932): Police detectives on a hunting trip discover the dead body of a beautiful young girl in a cabin. This well-produced Universal short subject is introduced by the "Shadow," the mysterious character popularized on the pages of "Detective Magazine." Stars James Durkin, Wilfred Lucas Leland Hodgeson; Directed by Kurt Neumann.

THE PRIVATE EYE (1951): Private Detective Florian Slappey plays it strictly for laughs in this all-black mystery spoof. "The Private Eye" was written by mystery novelist Octavus Roy Cohen, who is today best remembered for his unflattering portrayals of Afro-Americans. Stars Milt Wood, Geri Bryan, William Walker; Directed by Erle C. Kenton.

DICK TRACY: SHAKY'S SECRET TREASURE (1952): Tracy investigates when a woman's apartment is ransacked and her upholstery slashed. Ralph Byrd reprises the role he played in four Republic serials for this television series which ran from 1951-1952. Production was halted by the untimely passing of the show's star at age 43. Directed by Thomas Carr
