About this listen

He's tall. He's tough. He's the king of the hardboiled private eyes, and he's stalking the rain-swept streets of postwar Los Angeles. He's Philip Marlowe, here with 20 thrill-a-minute episodes produced and directed by Norman Macdonnell.

Tough-voiced Gerald Mohr plays Raymond Chandler's Marlowe as a man who has been burned by the world a little too often for his own good. He finds mysteries among valuables and the violent, facing down false witnesses and frame-ups. And on one stormy winter night, his past catches up with him.

Although very old fashioned and politically incorrect at times, the acting and stories are pretty great.

Great fun

This is just to old a production. Endless recaps of the show you are listening to. Promotions for other programs slotted in. Simplistic stories. One of my worst Audible purchases.
