released 1951 detective/mystery/comedy tv show
Ellery Queen is a crime fiction house name created by Frederic Dannay and Manfred Bennington Lee, and later used by other authors under Dannay and Lee's supervision. Books using this pseudonym were written from 1929 to as late as 1973. Dannay and Lee's main fictional character, whom they also named Ellery Queen, is a mystery writer who helps his father Richard Queen, a New York City police inspector, solve baffling murders. Most of the more than thirty novels and several short story collections in which Ellery Queen appeared as a character were written by Dannay and Lee. Other authors were commissioned and supervised by Dannay and Lee to write crime thrillers under the Ellery Queen authorial name, but not featuring Ellery Queen as a character. The Adventures of Ellery Queen was telecast on the DuMont Television Network from October 19, 1950, to December 6, 1951[3] and then on ABC from December 16, 1951, to November 26, 1952. This series starred Richard Hart as Ellery Queen in the first season and Lee Bowman in the role in later seasons. (Hart died suddenly of a heart attack in January 1951.) Florenz Ames played Inspector Richard Queen.
