Adventures of Philip Marlow – 1947-1951
This detective drama was based on the books written by Raymond Chandler. In it’s heyday it featured Gerald Mohr as the hard-boiled detective Philip Marlow, his voice perfectly carrying off the blood, guts and thunder frequenting the storylines. His opening to the show was one of the most memorable; “Get this and get it straight. Crime is a sucker’s road, and those who travel it end up in the gutter, the prison, or an early grave.”
