The Michael Shayne character also spawned a short-lived TV series, which ran for one season from 1960 to 1961. Hugh Beaumont took over the role when the series was revived later in the decade, appearing in Murder is My Business (1946), Larceny in Her Heart (1946), Blonde for a Day (1946), Three on a Ticket (1947) and Too Many Winners (1947). Lloyd Nolan filled the lead role in Michael Shayne: Private Detective (1940), Sleepers West (1941), Dressed to Kill (1941), Blue, White and Perfect (1942), The Man Who WouldnвЂ™t Die (1942), Just Off Broadway (1942) and Time to Kill (1942). Twelve Michael Shayne detective flicks were made in total. The character of Michael Shayne, who serves as the center of both BurkeвЂ™s novel and this series of films, was created by Brett Halliday. The film was written for the screen by Stanley Rauh and Manning OвЂ™Connor, from a novel titled вЂњDeath Takes No BowsвЂќ by Richard Burke. Starring alongside Nolan are Mary Beth Hughes, Sheila Ryan and William Demarest. (Image via Film Affinity)Д®ugene Forde directs Dressed to Kill for 20th Century Fox. HeвЂ™s willing to put love on hold to get a mystery solved. Knowing that he can make a pretty good stack of dough off of this case, especially since the hotel wants to keep the crime quiet (вЂњTell them not to bring the bodies through the lobby!вЂќ), Shayne takes on the case.

As it turns out, two people have actually been killed in the suite. He meets a screaming maid who has found an elderly woman in one of the hotelвЂ™s lavish suites, shot in the head.

Being the dedicated private eye that he is, Shayne naturally runs to the scene to see whatвЂ™s going on. Just as Shayne (Lloyd Nolan) and his girlfriend are preparing to leave the hotel to get hitched, they hear a scream.

Part of a long series of Michael Shayne mysteries, 1941вЂ™s Dressed to Kill follows the good detective as heвЂ™s forced to miss his own wedding to take on a case.
