* THE ADVENTURES OF PHILIP MARLOWE (OTR) OLD TIME RADIO * 105 EPISODES on DVD

Description: THE ADVENTURES OF PHILIP MARLOWE (OTR) OLD TIME RADIO * 105 EPISODES on DVD * The Adventures of Philip Marlowe was a radio series featuring Raymond Chandler's private eye, Philip Marlowe. It first aired 17 June 1947 on NBC radio under the title "The New Adventures of Philip Marlowe", with Van Heflin playing Marlowe. The first episode adapted Chandler's short story "Red Wind". The NBC series ended 9 September 1947. In 1948, the series moved to CBS, where it was called "The Adventure of Philip Marlowe", with Gerald Mohr playing Marlowe. This series also began with an adaptation of "Red Wind", using a script different from the NBC adaptation. By 1949, it had the largest audience in radio. The CBS version ran for 114 episodes. Toward the end it was a summer replacement for Hopalong Cassady. Mohr played Marlowe in all but one of the CBS shows. He was replaced by William Conrad in the 1950 episode, "The Anniversary Gift". The episode "The Birds On The Wing" (aired 11-26-49) is especially notable for its beginning and ending, both uncharacteristically breaking the fourth wall. It opens with Marlowe saying he is currently reading "Chandler's latest The Little Sister" -- thus a fictional character claims to be reading an actual book in which he is the main character. Even more surreal was the ending, in which Marlowe returns to his apartment to find Gracie Allen -- who asks Marlowe to find her husband George Burns a radio show on which he can sing! The last show aired 15 September 1951. Cast and crew The first NBC episode had a script by Milton Geiger. Chandler, in a letter to Earl Stanley Gardner, commented about his version, "It was thoroughly flat." The CBS version had a better reception. Norman Macdonnell was producer/director; Gene Levitt, Robert Mitchell, Mel Dinelli, and Kathleen Hite wrote the scripts; and Richard Aurandt was responsible for the music. Roy Rowan as announcer. Performing alongside Mohr at various times were Jeff Corey, Howard McNear, Parley Baer, Lawrence Dobkin, Virginia Gregg, Gloria Blondell, and Lou Krugman. 105 Episodes in MP3 Format on DVD Who Shot Waldo The Red Wind King in Yellow Trouble Is My Business The Red Wind The Persian Slippers The Panama Hat Where There's a Will The Heart of Gold The Hard Way Out The Old Acquaintance The Restless Day The Black Halo The Orange Dog The Easy Mark The Long Rope The Lonesome Reunion Friend from Detroit Grim Hunters The Dancing Hands The Green Flame The Last Laugh Name to Remember The Heat Wave Cloak of Kamehameha Lady in Mink Feminine Touch The Promise to Pay Night Tide The Ebony Link The Unfair Lady The Pigeons Blood The Busy Body The Key Man Dude from Manhattan The Headless Peacock The Mexican Boat Ride The August Lion The Indian Giver The Lady Killer The Eager Witness The Bum's Rush Rushton Hickory The Baton Sinister The Fatted Calf The Tail of the Mermaid The Open Window The Strangle Hold The Smokeout The Green Witch The Fine Italian Hand The Birds on the Wing The Kid on the Corner The Little Wishbone The House That Jacqueline Built The Torch Carriers The Covered Bridge The Bid for Freedom The Hairpin Turn The Long Arm The Grim Echo The Ladies Night The Big Step The Monkey's Uncle The Vital Statistic The Deep Shadow The Sword of Cebu The Man on the Roof The Anniversary Gift The Angry Eagle The High Collared Cape The Sea Horse Jockey The Hiding Place Cloak of Kamehameha The Fox's Tail The Bedside Manners The Uneasy Head Face to Forget Golden Cobra The Pelican's Roost The Girl from Pitchfork Corners The Iron Coffin The Last Wish The Glass Donkey The Parrot's Bed The Quiet Magpie The Dark Tunnel The Collector's Item The Soft Spot The Fifth Mask The Final Payment The White Carnation The Big Book The Seaside Sabbatical The Dear, Dead Days Life Can Be Murder Good Neighbor Policy The Long Way Home Young Man's Fancy Heir for G-String (rehearsal) Heir for G-String Nether Nether Land (rehearsal) Nether Nether Land The Medium Was Rare Sound and the Unsound ------------------------------------------------------------- Our MP3 DVD Audiobooks are compatible with DVD players, PC/MAC computers, or other devices that are DVD-compatible.
