Tales of Fatima
Tales of Fatima was an
old-time radio show from
1949 starring
Basil Rathbone, who had by that time become famous for his long run portraying the world's most famous sleuth in
The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Rathbone starred as himself in adventure situations that were played for very broad comedy, quite a departure for the actor from the stalwart
Holmes. Evidently it was too much of a departure for audiences; the series fizzled after 39 episodes, only one of which -- "Time to Kill," episode 21 from
May 28,
1949 -- seems to have survived to this day.
