The Adventures of Philip Marlowe was a radio series featuring Raymond Chandler’s private eye, Philip Marlowe. Robert C. Reinehr and Jon D. Swartz, in their book, The A to Z of Old Time Radio, noted that the program differed from most others in its genre: “It was a more hard-boiled program than many of the other private detective shows of the time, containing few quips or quaint characters.” The program first aired 17 June 1947 on NBC radio under the title The New Adventures of Philip Marlowe, with Van Heflin playing Marlowe.
