The Adventures of Philip Marlowe - Vol. 1 - Old Time Radio

The Adventures of Philip Marlowe - Volume One - Old Time Radio Classics: 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. Volume One includes 16 full-length episodes on 8 CDs. Check it out along with 3 other volumes available from Nostalgia Merchant.
