He was the golden age of radio's last detective, a character played by more actors in a dozen years than James Bond was in 50. It's been more than 50 years since his last expense report, but one case remains - The Last Man Standing Matter.

Expense Account Item Number One
In some ways, I've tried to approach this documentary the way the show's title character would approach a case. In general, this meant far less punching, shooting of a different sort and a budget lower than some of Johnny's expense accounts. One bit of detective work I'm very happy with was a 1970s radio interview with Mandel Kramer - recorded for a radio station in Hartford of all places - in which he gives a concise summary of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. Using this as the first "expense account item" might seem a bit obvious, but obvious isn't necessarily the enemy of right and proper. You be the judge.
