Philip Marlowe

Welcome to the family.

At a Los Angeles intersection, a woman climbs into Philip Marlowe's car, certain she is being followed, and hires him to learn who is on her trail.

That routine protection assignment leads Marlowe into the affairs of a silk merchant, a troubled divorce, and murder.

From CBS on March 14, 1950, comes episode 75 of The Adventures of Philip Marlowe, The Vital Statistic.

Gerald Moore stars as Marlowe in an original radio story by Robert Mitchell and Gene Levitt, produced and directed by Norman MacDonald.

And now we return to the original broadcast.

Get this and get it

All because of a run-of-the-mill accident 500 miles away.

Here's a little trivia for you.

Did you know that the voice of Philip Marlowe won Gerald Moore provided the voice for the opening announcer bit of the Lone Ranger episodes, at least the first season? Yeah, I was shocked to hear Philip Marlowe talking about the Lone Ranger.

It's awesome.

But I digress, because the most important thing I can tell you now is that coming in this week

A wounded young man, armed and trapped on a warehouse roof, faces the police as Philip Marlowe recalls the case that brought him there.

On April 4th, 1950, CBS presented episode 78 of The Adventures of Philip Marlowe, The Man on the Roof.

Gerald Moore stars as Marlowe, hired by an elderly Spanish woman to clear her son of a theft charge.

His inquiry soon reaches a fur truck hijacking, and the story unfolds in flashback from that rooftop siege.

There's time an old Spanish woman who cared, a red-headed mink who didn't, and a green suede button beside a corpse all led me to a wounded man with a gun in his hand, cornered on a warehouse roof.

It happened like this.
