The Adv. Of Philip Marlowe Log


Raymond Chandler's creation was first seen on the big screen as a 1944 movie, Murder My Sweet starring Dick Powell and then The Lady In The Lake in 1947 featuring Robert Montgomery. It finally made its way to radio in 1947. First over NBC with Van Heflin as a summer replacement for Bob Hope. Later, the longest run was on the CBS radio network with Gerald Mohr. There was one broadcast, 04/11/50, in which William Conrad played the lead role for an absent Gerald Mohr

Special Note: One Van Heflin program, Trouble Is My Business, is not dated. Does anyone have a date for this broadcast?
