ehind the scenes of a police headquarters in a great American city

The Lineup is an American police drama which aired on CBS radio from 1950 to 1953 and on CBS television from 1954 to 1960.

The radio version depicted the investigations of Lieutenant Ben Guthrie (played by Bill Johnstone, one of several actors to play The Shadow on radio) and Sergeant Matt Greb (played by Wally Maher until his death on December 27, 1951), later replaced by Sergeant Pete Carger (played by Jack Moyles), in the police force of an unnamed "great American city." Each story had a lineup, with Maher giving instructions to the suspects in a bored monotone. Otherwise this is a fairly typical police drama, with stories of “the innocent, the vagrant, the thief, and the murderer.” Lieutenant Ben Guthrie had a laid-back attitude, while Sergeant Greb was the gruff impetuous character.

Raymond Burr, Jeanette Nolan and others were supporting characters. Writers on the show included Blake Edwards, Morton Fine, and David Friedkin. The music was by Eddie Dunstedteer. And Jaime Del Valle was the producer/director.
