It is interesting how the detective radio shows differed in their protrayals of law officers:
Philip Marlowe - highly efficient and professional
Pat Novak - brutal and corrupt
Richard Diamond - detective's best friend; very congenial
Philo Vance - also best friend, and a thorough-going professional, but values Vance's talents
