Craig Kennedy, Criminologist

For over 20 years “Craig Kennedy, America’s First Scientific Detective” appeared in hundreds of short stories, books and novels, plus feature films and serials. Solving crimes utilizing modern criminal science was a natural for television, so two seasons of brisk crime mysteries produced in 35mm for syndication followed, all performed by a cast of popular character actors. As the original “crime scene investigator,” the series performed very well, and in some markets actually besting competition such as “I Love Lucy” and “Your Show of Shows.” 1951-53|332 min.|B&W|1.33:1|NR
