On the job and around the world he crosses paths with beautiful women, suspicious characters, and stone-cold killers. The supporting cast features some of radio’s top talent, including William Conrad, Betty Lou Gerson, Lawrence Dobkin, Parley Baer, Georgia Ellis, Jay Novello, and more. Hang on to your fedora!

Yours Truly Johnny Dollar
I was glad to see that you released collections of each of the first three Dollars recently. Each is an acquired taste, from the calm John Lund to the tough Edmond O’Brien, to the cynical Charles Russell. Murder Ain’t Minor features Russell, whose characterization is really not to my liking as much as the other two. He does not have any warmth, and occasionally stumbles on his lines. Having said that, the sound is very good and this set is a good addition to your catalog.

Yours Truly Johnny Dollar
Good sound quality, and fun stories. While I enjoyed this Johnny Dollar with Charles Russell, nothing beats Edmund O'Brien as Johnny Dollar.
