With school back in session, we're visiting the faculty lounge at Madison High with three cast members from Our Miss Brooks in their roles as radio detectives. Gale Gordon sheds the stuffy suit of Principal Osgood Conklin as amateur sleuth Gregory Hood in "Murder in Celluloid" (originally aired on Mutual on July 2, 1946). Jeff Chandler leaves bashful biology teacher Mr. Boynton behind to travel to the Big Easy as Michael Shayne in "The Case of the Model Murder." And Gerald Mohr ditches the accent of French teacher Monsieur LeBlanche as Phillip Marlowe in "The Torch Carriers" (originally aired on CBS on January 7, 1950). Plus, we'll hear all three alongside Eve Arden in an episode of Our Miss Brooks (originally aired on CBS on February 20, 1949).

Two cases, two Marlowes', one unforgettable ride. What You Will Hear: The origins of Philip Marlowe and how Raymond Chandler brought him to life. A look at the hard-boiled detective genre and its influence on radio and film. Who Shot Waldo? (1947) starring Van Heflin. The Restless Day (1949) starring Gerald Mohr.
