Rocky Jordan, Collection 1

Set in Cairo, Egypt, Rocky Jordan is a crime-fighting bartender reminiscent of a classic film noir hero, navigating mysteries and conflicts in a vibrant North African setting. As owner of the Café Tambourine, Jordan often finds himself entangled in criminal investigations, sometimes even being suspected himself, which compels him to uncover the truth. The show captures an authentic Middle Eastern atmosphere through its use of real street names and regional music, offering listeners a richly textured auditory experience. Originally aired in 1945 and sponsored by Del Monte Foods, the series features notable actors like Jack Moyles and George Raft in the starring role.
