TVC 692.2: Steve Aldous and Gary Gillies, co-authors of The Harry O Viewing Companion: History and Episodes of the Classic Detective Series, talk to Ed about why Harry O has more in common with the Lew Archer novels by Russ MacDonald than the Raymond Chandler novels featuring Philip Marlowe or the Dashiell Hammett novels with Sam Spade; how David Janssen's skill at performing voice-overs was one of the ways in which he fully inhabited the Harry Orwell character; and how the onscreen rapport between Janssen and Anthony Zerbe changed the dynamics of Harry O for the better.

Despite its popularity, it lacked consistent sponsorship. Raymond Chandler had little involvement but was generally pleased with Mohr's portrayal.

In this encore presentation, we go back to the summer of 1947 when Philip Marlowe came to the air in his own weekly series with Van Heflin playing Raymond Chandler's private eye. The NBC series featured a mix of original mysteries as well as adaptations of Chandler stories, including the show's premiere episode "Red Wind" (originally aired on NBC on June 17, 1947). A year later, Gerald Mohr would put his own stamp on the character, but these Heflin shows offer a different take on Marlowe and a compelling portrayal in its own right. Along with "Red Wind," we'll hear "The Daring Young Dame on the Flying Trapeze" (July 1, 1947); "The King in Yellow" (July 8, 1947); "Trouble is My Business" (August 5, 1947); and "Robin and the Hood" (August 19, 1947).

"The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" was a hardboiled detective radio series based on Raymond Chandler's iconic private eye. Unlike many other detective shows of the era, it was known for its serious tone, with fewer lighthearted moments.The show premiered on NBC in June 1947 as a summer replacement for Bob Hope, titled "The New Adventures of Philip Marlowe," starring Van Heflin. The first episode adapted Chandler's short story "Red Wind," and the NBC run concluded in September 1947.In 1948, the series moved to CBS and was renamed "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe," with Gerald Mohr taking on the lead role. This CBS version also began with a different adaptation of "Red Wind." By 1949, it had become the most popular radio program. The CBS series aired for 114 episodes, from September 1948 to September 1950.From July to September 1951, the show briefly returned as a summer replacement for "Hopalong Cassidy," with Mohr reprising his role, except for one episode in 1950 featuring William Conrad.A notable episode, "The Birds on the Wing" (November 26, 1949), famously broke the fourth wall at both the beginning and end. Marlowe mentions reading Chandler's latest novel, "The Little Sister," and in the conclusion, Gracie Allen asks Marlowe to find a radio show for her husband, George Burns.Lyn Murray composed the program's music. The theme used in the first two NBC episodes, where Marlowe narrates the opening of Chandler's "Red Wind," later became a prominent motif in Murray's score for Alfred Hitchcock's "To Catch a Thief" (1954).Despite its popularity, "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" lacked consistent sponsorship, with only brief periods supported by Ford Motor Company and Wrigley's Gum in 1950.Raymond Chandler had minimal involvement with the radio series, content with the weekly royalties for his character's use and expressing moderate satisfaction with Gerald Mohr's portrayal of Marlowe.The first NBC episode's script was by Milton Geiger, which Chandler found "thoroughly flat." The CBS version, produced and directed by Norman Macdonnell, was better received. The writing team for the CBS series included Gene Levitt, Robert Mitchell, Mel Dinelli, and Kathleen Hite, with music by Richard Aurandt and Roy Rowan as the announcer. The cast alongside Gerald Mohr featured actors such as Jeff Corey, Howard McNear, Parley Baer, Lawrence Dobkin, Virginia Gregg, Gloria Blondell, and Lou Krugman.

In the long lineup of fictional hard-boiled detectives, Philip Marlowe stands out as one of the earliest and best. Raymond Chandler's creation first reached print in the early 1930s, then went on to memorable adaptations in film, television, and of course radio. "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" had a solid four-year run of well over 100 episodes on CBS. Still, a handful of recordings are lost today.  Now Project Audion recreates one of these missing episodes - "The Quiet Number" - directly from the original script, exactly seventy-five years after it was broadcast. "The Quiet Number" wasn't penned by Chandler, but we meet the son of the man who wrote this and most of Marlowe's other radio adventures.

Mixing and blending the genres of detective noir and music, ‘Conflict in the City' takes place in greater Los Angeles, home to both classic and modern fictional LA detectives like Raymond Chandler's Phillip Marlowe and Michael Connolly's Harry Bosch, and music legends like the Doors, Van Halen, and The Mamas and The Papas. It's in this world that we find Johnny “Whoops” Watson and Billy Bates, young guitarists/singers and their band, Conflict, playing clubs in modern LA, where the days of rock's zenith and ascendance in the 1960s and 1970s has faded, but the hopes and dreams of aspiring musicians haven't. Conflict is struggling and chaos ensues when someone linked closely to the band is killed. Billy and Johnny become swept up in the mystery, ill-prepared as they are to confront it. Philip M. Cohen was born in New York City and moved to Los Angeles as a young man. A musician since his pre-teens, he began writing songs and playing with bands in his teens and had a near-encounter with fame with his band The Heaters. He then became a music attorney to pay the bills, but continued to write, perform, and record music. Presently, Phil still consults on legal and business matters but spends most of his time writing and playing music, composing, recording, and performing with his two bands, Dogs and Bones and The Silver Heaters, consisting of former members of The Heaters. ‘Conflict in the City' is his first published novel and ‘Conflict in the Club', the second.

Chapter 1:Summary of The Long Goodbye"The Long Goodbye" is a classic detective novel by Raymond Chandler, first published in 1953. It is the sixth novel featuring the private investigator Philip Marlowe. Here's a summary of the plot:The story begins with Marlowe meeting Terry Lennox, a man with a troubled past involving both alcoholism and connections to wealthy families in California and England. Lennox often gets drunk and ends up needing assistance, which Marlowe provides without questioning his background. Their friendship takes a dark turn when Lennox's wife, Sylvia, is found murdered, and Lennox turns up on Marlowe's doorstep seeking help to escape to Tijuana. Marlowe agrees, but upon returning, he is arrested and interrogated. Though eventually released, Marlowe is warned to stay out of the matter.When Lennox reportedly commits suicide in Mexico, Marlowe is skeptical. He explores various leads, navigating through a maze of deceit involving Eileen Wade, a beautiful woman; her troubled novelist husband, Roger Wade; and various figures from the criminal underworld. Each trail Marlowe follows uncovers layers of corruption and deceit, linking back to the Wades and Lennox in complex ways.Throughout the novel, Marlowe displays a mix of cynicism and honor, consistently adhering to his personal code amidst the moral ambiguities of society. He digs deeper into the Lennox and Wade connections, ultimately uncovering uncomfortable truths about Lennox's real identity and his involvement in a broader scheme of manipulation and betrayal."The Long Goodbye" acts as a critical social commentary on the mores of post-war America, touching on themes like wealth disparity, the abuse of power, and the perversion of justice. This novel is renowned for its elaborate plot, deeply flawed characters, and the poignant, sometimes poetic dialogue that defines Chandler's work.Marlowe's loyalty to his friend and his relentless pursuit of truth drive him to ensure that justice, in some form, prevails, even if it's not through the legal system. The novel concludes on a melancholic note reflecting on the personal costs of confronting such deep-seated corruption.Chapter 2:The Theme of The Long Goodbye"The Long Goodbye," written by Raymond Chandler and published in 1953, is a significant work within the genre of hard-boiled detective fiction. The novel explores complex themes of friendship, betrayal, and the blurry lines between right and wrong, set against the backdrop of the 1950s Los Angeles. Here's an outline of key plot points, character development, and thematic ideas in the novel: Key Plot Points:1. Introduction to Marlowe's Friendship with Terry Lennox: The novel begins with private detective Philip Marlowe forming an unexpected friendship with Terry Lennox, a man with a scarred face and troubled past. Lennox often requires Marlowe's help, usually after his heavy drinking sprees.2. Lennox's Escape: Terry Lennox asks Marlowe for a ride across the border to Tijuana. Marlowe, demonstrating loyalty to a friend, agrees, unaware that this act will lead him into a complex web of deceit. Soon after, Marlowe learns that Lennox's wife has been found dead, and Lennox emerges as the prime suspect.3. Arrest and Release of Marlowe: Marlowe is arrested on suspicion of aiding Lennox, but is released after three days when Lennox reportedly commits suicide in Mexico and leaves a confession note. This resolution feels too tidy for Marlowe.4. Hired by the Wade Family: Marlowe is subsequently hired by Eileen Wade, who is concerned about her husband Roger Wade's drinking problem and his ability to finish his book. Marlowe finds himself in a dysfunctional household where the boundaries between professional involvement and personal investment begin to blur.5. Discovering Truths: Throughout his engagement with the Wades, Marlowe...

Rerun: Howard Hawks' film noir ‘The Big Sleep' finally hit cinemas on 23rd August, 1946, after extra crowd-pleasing repartee had been inserted, featuring real life couple Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. But more flirtation meant less exposition - making the plot of the detective story notoriously difficult to follow, even to the extent that the filmmakers had to call author Raymond Chandler to ask him who had killed one of the characters.  In this episode, Rebecca, Arion and Olly explain why the Hays censorship code compounded an already confusing script; reveal William Faulkner's left-field approach to WFH; and consider why - on the silver screen, anyway - women appeared to fall at Bogart's feet… Further Reading: • ‘The Big Sleep: Proof That Plot Doesn't Matter' (Den of Geek, 2019): https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/the-big-sleep-proof-that-plot-doesn-t-matter/ • ‘Homosexuality and the Production Code –The Big Sleep' (Sophie Hagberg, 2014): https://sophiehagbergscrn131.wordpress.com/2014/03/17/homosexuality-and-the-production-code-the-big-sleep-1946/ • ‘They're Together Again!'

The boys head to 1995 to discuss ‘Leaving Las Vegas', Nicolas Cage's Oscar-winning role, and whether or not there can be such a thing as too much jazz scatting in a film score. We set the scene, give you some context of world and film news from 1995, and sink our teeth into a productive conversation about this emotional film about an alcoholic (Cage) and his prostitute friend, Elizabeth Shue. Dave opens the episode with a mini-review of ‘Borderlands,' the Eli Roth video game series adaptation that critics and audiences shunned, despite starring huge names: Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Jamie Lee Curtis!  Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

The man you just heard was Raymond Edward Johnson. He is best-remembered for being the longtime host on Inner Sanctum Mysteries on CBS. After returning from the War, Johnson left the show to pursue more diversified acting interests. However by then, NBC had launched their own mystery program which Johnson often found himself appearing in. It was called The Molle Mystery Theater. Launched on September 7th, 1943 and sponsored by Molle Brushless Shaving Cream, Mystery Theater was hosted by Bernard Lenrow as Geoffrey Barnes, crime fiction connoisseur. Veteran radio actor Bernard Lenrow routinely read one-hundred mystery novels each year and personally selected the stories to be dramatized on the show. Molle featured '‘the best in mystery and detective fiction,” with tales running from classics by Poe, to moderns by Raymond Chandler. The trademarks were high tension and shocking endings. In July of 1944 it was pulling a rating of 9.1 Tuesdays at 9PM. Many of New York's most-famous radio actors appeared, like Richard Widmark, Elspeth Eric, Anne Seymour, and Joseph Julian.
