Richard Diamond, Private Detective
Richard Diamond has it all. A former NYPD cop turned private detective, he has biting sarcasm, a Park Avenue millionaress for a girlfriend and even concludes each episode with a song!
Starring Dick Powell, Diamond is definitely light-hearted detective fare that keeps you smiling even through the murders, kidnappings, and other standard detective-genre crimes.
