"... A series of true stories of the unceasing search for enemy spies in War Time, based on the memoirs of Lieutenant Oreste Cornel Pinto of the Allied Counter-Intelligence service ..."
Oreste Pinto was a Dutch Intelligence Officer whom General Eisenhower called "the greatest living expert in security." The radio program, Spy Catcher, was based on Pinto's work in the Allied Counterintelligence Service. Each episode has Pinto interrogating a political refugee or seeming Allied Serviceman. Using all the psychological and verbal tricks at his command, Pinto tries to prove that the subject is a Nazi Spy.
Spy Catcher was penned by Robert Barr, and starred Bernard Archard as Pinto. Barr went on to write 26 episodes for Radio, with Archard continuing his role.

Always enjoyed the series. It had been a while since I last listen to the program, however I am listening to it again as I had forgotten the outcome of many of the episodes. If you are interested in that kind of program, Spy Catcher is an excellent series to enjoy.

So amazing how Colonel Pinto got the truth out of the spys. Never knew all this went on.

Espionage stories told through interviews with witnesses and suspected spies, the dialog is razor sharp and spoken with accents of variable quality. The programs are often very convincing.

A very interesting show, my only complaint is that there are not more episodes.
