Not that I know of. You're probably thinking of Geoffrey
Homes' HUMPHREY CAMPBELL, another milk-drinking eye, who
appeared in NO HANDS ON THE CLOCK (1941, Paramount) and CRIME
BY NIGHT (1944, Warner Brothers), as well as five novels. If
you actually saw these films, you're one (or two) up on
me.
We get the Mystery Channel, but all they show are Mike Hammer
reruns, mostly (and NOBODY'S THAT BIG a Stacey Keach fan).
Maybe one day the Campbell flicks will show up on Turner
Movies or something.

He might, but who knows? He can be awful temperamental at
times...
