Rosenberg, who had also sold the "Sam Spade" series and who "helped develop another series, 'The Fat Man,' inspired by Gutman of The Maltese Falcon...." text/html;charset=utf 8 However, Nolan' s view is text/html;charset=utf 8 that Brad Runyon was not a copy of Casper Gutman, but was more a mixture of the urbane Nick Charles with the hard- boiled Continental Op., another of Hammett' s better known characters. Besides, Gutman was a heavy, and not anything like the Brad Runyon character. John Dunning text/html;charset=utf 8 (1976), another old-time radio authority, gives the creative credit to Hammett. |

| Brad Runyon, the "Fat Man," was a character completely opposite sue scott to "The Thin Man," who, as anyone into detective fiction knows, was another popular character actually based upon a Hammett novel. Where Nick Charles, the "Thin Man," was a tall, suave, married, aristocratic, martini-sipping amateur, Brad Runyon was a short, heavy, hard-fisted, charming and sensitive professional. He was closer in some respects to yet another successful Hammett character running on sue scott radio at the time, "Sam Spade" sue scott -- a character based upon Hammett's detective in the Maltese Falcon. According to William F. Nolan (1983:196, also Johnson 1983:217), Dashiell Hammett, faced with a writer's block, decided to cash in on the popularity of his "Thin Man" series which ran on radio from 1946 through 1951 on CBS, and created "The Fat Man." Just how much of the "creation" was Hammett's, and how much that of others who were commercially involved in radio seems to be an open question. |
