The Adventure of Philip Marlowe: The Adventures of Philip Marlowe came to Radio in the Summer of 1947 as a Pepsodent Program replacement for their wildly popular show starring Bob Hope and his ensemble. But this version last only 13 episodes. It took another year to bring Philip Marlowe to the air on a regular basis. Superb voice talent Gerald Mohr was tapped for Philip Marlowe airing on CBS. Mohr was a natural to reinvigorate the Philip Marlowe character. A master of dialects and one of Radio's most versatile leads, Gerald Mohr forged yet another new take on the hard-boiled PI. |

| The Adventures of Philip Marlowe: Raymond Chandler’s most famous “tough guy” creation steps out of the pulp novels of the 1950’s and into radio. Phillip Marlowe confronts crime and criminals, where greed, treachery and brutality are the major driving forces behind his opponent’s actions. Watch out for those femme fatales. The program was mostly sustaining (no sponsor) throughout its run. |
