...in the 59s, early 60s?
While you waited for the big picture you'd have to endure him moralising about the petty stuff that made up the gist of his films.

I thought he wrote about true crime. Perhaps that was someone with the same name.

50/50, that's an even split.
His fame lingers on.

He probably established his reputation by writing on true crime.
The cinema films might have posed as entertainments, but I thought them anything but.

I don't remember any specific film - but weren't they introduced by the same creepy music and was it a profile or silhouette of the gentleman himself - or am I mixing it up with Hitchcock (it was a long time ago).

He had a series recently on cable on Talking Pictures. But I remember the TV series from the late 50'/60's. I seem to recall it was quite popular.

I think he & Hitchcock were similar in their TV roles - the adjective I would use is lugubrious.

(looking or sounding sad and dismal.)

i know the name, but not much else.
