You gotta love these old shows. He goes outside, climbs into his 1959 Ford Galaxy while the narration goes " Two drinks later I was on my way " Very real to life.
Lacking the padding and "personal" stories of modern shows, these old features, crisp, uncluttered, and to the point, are a breath of fresh air. Thanks and keep them coming. Oh, we know it's not Chandler's writing and Batman isn't Batman anymore, either. Carey does a fine job as a tough PI; call it what you will.
First time seeing an episode from this series. Excellent! I love the Marlow stories, and this was well written and well acted - with a couple of familiar faces. Philip Carey nails the character with real grit.
I like Philip Carey's dead pan delivery. He was a good Philip Marlowe. The general lack of frills and fluff in this show is refreshing. Humphrey Bogart and Powers Booth were also very good in this role.
In my opinion, the best Philip Marlowe ever was Bogart in "The Big Sleep". Who came second? Robert Mitchum in "Farewell My Lovely". If you haven't seen these two movies, see them, you won't be disappointed. Again, these are my two favorite Marlowes. Everyone else...........it's just chin music!
This series is special to me....i feel it has novelty, he, Raymond Chandler exudes virility....AAAhhh!!! his voice.....OOOOhhh! i enjoy these videos inmensely....not many of them....i wish....Grateful to ChiTownView for uploading them!
Gilbert's secretary was played by the same actress who played Mike Hammer's secretary in "Kiss Me Deadly". Lydia's father was a character actor who appeared in tons of movies and tv shows. For me he is most memorable for saying "That's strange. That plane's dusting crops where there aint no crops" to Cary Grant in "North by Northwest"
@lostmrsmoss.......Totally agree! Many argue that Humphrey Bogart [the 'Big Sleep'] was the best Marlowe - and indeed, Chandler did like Bogart's performance as his iconic detective. But Chandler always felt that whatever part Bogart played - he played himself. He felt he didn't really capture the nuances of Marlowe as depicted in the books. It was completely different with Dick Powell - and Chandler openly admitted that he was the best ever Marlowe. Strange really considering Powell was essentially a 'song and dance' man up until that point. Powell was not only an accomplished singer / dancer [his rendition of 'I'll String Along with You' is truly excellent] he was an exceptionally talented actor. But above all, he was as smart as a tack. Powell recognised that the sugary-sweet musicals and boy-meets-girl films he was making no longer resonated with audiences. It was the early 1940's and America was changing. Men were coming home from WWII missing arms and legs to find their wives had found love elsewhere. Film Noir captured this new 'mood' and Powell wanted to be a part of it. He campaigned determinedly for the part in 'Murder My Sweet' and somehow convinced director Edward Dmytryk and producer Adrian Scott - but more importantly, genius RKO Studio boss Charles Koerner - to give him the role. The result in my opinion [and more learned authorities than I agree] is the best of all the Marlowe films. But there was a catch. The original title of the film was to be based on Chandler's book ['Farewell My Lovely']. Combined with the appearance of Powell - who had established himself as a foppish romantic lead - created the image of a love story rather than that of murder, a drug-addled Nubile being blackmailed over pornographic photographs, and a hard-as-nails femme fatale being hounded by a demented psychiatrist and besotted ogre! The film was released as 'Murder My Sweet' in America [although it kept its original title in the UK] and Powell's unbelievable transformation was complete. His very next film [the superb 'Johnny O'clock'] cemented this transformation and Powell went on to make a number of excellent gritty, more realistic films in the following years.
It's really a fascinating moment seeing an actor you barely know, and then by name only, playing a famous character like Philip Carey. Good script, decent acting and oh, those fancy fifties cars.
Game-show veterans Mark Goodson and Bill Todman, Sr. were behind the Raymond Chandler-created crime drama Philip Marlowe, which began broadcasting on radio ever since the 1940s.
Lydia is Connie Hines I'd recognize that voice anywhere. She played Carol, Wilbur's wife on the hit tv show "Mr. Ed". Love that show. Connie Hines was born on March 24, 1931 in Dedham, Massachusetts, USA as Constance Faith Hines. She was an actress, known for Mister Ed (1958), Thunder in Carolina (1960) and Coronado 9 (1960). She was married to Lee Savin. She died on December 18, 2009 in Beverly Hills, California, USA.
@jajanesaddictions "Thunder in Carolina" was the only big-screen movie that Connie Hines appeared in. This race-car movie was made in 1960 (a year before the first season of "Mr. Ed") by Darlington Films, and was released in the U.S. by Howco International Pictures. The other cast principals in that movie are Rory Calhoun, Alan Hale, Jr., and Race Gentry. Paul Helmick (who was primarily an assistant director or second-unit director in Hollywood) directed the film; Alexander Richards wrote the screenplay (the same year that he co-wrote the story which became the Edward L. Cahn "quickie" film "Cage of Evil"). In 1973 (three years after her marriage to entertainment lawyer Lee Savin), Connie Hines played Paula Olman in her one-and-only made-for-TV movie - namely, the CBS PLAYHOUSE 90 drama "The Lie," directed by Alex Segal and written by Ingmar Bergman (from his made-for-Swedish TV teleplay "Reservatet"). It originally aired on CBS on 24 April 1973. The cast of this movie includes George Segal, Shirley Knight, Robert Culp, Victor Buono, William Daniels, Dean Jagger, Louise Lasser, Mary Ann Mobley, Elizabeth Wilson, Allan Arbus, Robert Easton, Priscilla Morrill, Neva Patterson, Ann Prentiss, Milton Selzer, Ellen Weston, and Robert Emhardt. (BY THE WAY: Connie Hines was a contestant on the game show "Dotto" in New York City in 1958 when she got the call that Hollywood was interested in her - not long before the big quiz-show scandal hit. Jack Narz, who was the host of "Dotto" at the time, gave her the news on-air during one of the show's episodes. (And, in 1966, shortly after "Mr. Ed" completed its 5-year run on CBS, Connie Hines and Alan Young co-starred in a stage adaptation of "Love Letters" in Irvine, California.)
That's a really good episode with a stellar cast -- thank you. First I've seen of this series. I got confused because Carey looks so much like Hugh Marlowe, unrelated to all this -- a common actor face type shared by Howard Duff and (sort of) Henry Fonda.
Probably because no one knows they existed. On the other hand it would make for a nice change from the same tired war horses they keep trotting out over and over again.
BY THE WAY: "Philip Marlowe" was a "one-season wonder" series, which aired 26 episodes on Tuesday evenings on ABC during the 1959-1960 season. This show is Episode 23; it aired originally on 8 March 1960. It is one of only a handful of extant episodes of the series, and is directed by actor Paul Stewart, who directed episodes of various and sundry TV drama shows (including drama anthologies) from 1954 to 1964, including such shows as "Kings Row" (4 episodes), "Warner Brothers Presents" (3 episodes), "Hawaiian Eye" (4 episodes), "Deadline" (4 episodes), "M Squad" (5 episodes), "Michael Shayne" (8 episodes), and "Checkmate" (6 episodes).
Thanks so much for watching Jane we have more vintage crime shows and films on our Crime Scene page at mindsimedia.info/Crime%20Scene/index.html#.V-sPufArKUk
I think that was the first time that I ever saw his work, though he had actually gotten started in acting many years before that. Now that we have IMDB, I can see the range and depth of his work. He had a good career.
Betsy Jones Moreland "Mrs. Gilbert"in this episode was a great actress and stunning beauty. I don't know if it was her choice or incompetent casting directors that she was not a major star. This episode alone showed her talent and she could say more with a look or a glance then the best of the top leading ladies.
Nice. Also nice to see younger William Shalert . Sorry to read in comments only two episodes known to survive. Marlow was big seller I can't see anyone just destroying films. But I am still upset over fire at Universal.
One difficulty that he did have that you may or may not have noticed was his height. Being 6'4", he towered over many actors, creating a visual imbalance in some scenes. So, they adjusted the height of the camera at key moments to compensate for that. Did that several times in this episode. James Arness had the same problem, but worse, because he was 6'6". He started in films, but John Wayne (himself also tall at 6'4") told him that he was too big for film and advised him to go and make his mark in television instead. He did and experienced great success with Gunsmoke. There were plenty of outdoor scenes in that show where his great size was not quite so obvious.

I have read all of Raymond Chandler's Marlowe novels and also several of the Black Mask short stories some of his later novels are based on (in particular FAREWELL, MY LOVELY; a process he himself called "cannibalizing"). One of his specialties were hyperbolic comparisons, such as "The house itself was not so much. It was maller than Buckingham Palace ... and probably had fewer windows than the Chrysler Building" (from FAREWELL). Here, on the other hand, we must be content with less, e,g, puns like "talking of heels", "this was Mr. Gilbert's last shot", and "'... what happened to Lydia Mitchell's body?"' - "I don't know, but if I happen to run across it I'll be sure to call you'". And then there is the double meaning of "grave affair" in the title of this episode. And the remark "... me, or should I say I?" reminds us of Marlowe's ironical commentary on someone's overly correct language: "Nice use of the subjunctive." Marlowe, the voilence averse white knight coming to the rescue of damsels in distress would not have remained passive when Gilbert slapped his wife. Yet, seen altogether, I liked it.
Goodson-Todman's legendary ABC crime drama Philip Marlowe was loosely based on a series of private-investigator novels by the late Raymond Chandler, originating during the Golden Age of Radio in the 1940s.
Did you think that Scar was a little over the top? I also thought Phil Carey was a little too tall. He towered over everybody. Other than that, he was a perfect choice
@@geoffwright2845 He looked like he could handle himself, but that scare was way too much and they had to work the camera shots by having him sit on something or having him back a step or two to make him look shorter. from (6:02- 6:30 or 18:30-18:55). Other than that he had that scruffy voice too, that gave him that tough persona.
In addition to their game and panel shows {'WHAT'S MY LINE?", I'VE GOT A SECRET", "THE PRICE IS RIGHT", "TO TELL THE TRUTH", et. al.}, Mark and Bill {"Bilmar"} also produced this series in prime-time, as well as 'THE REBEL" that season.
This is so interesting. Thank you so much. Yes, I agree, he makes a really good Marlowe. I wonder what happened to all these actors? All melted away. Stardom is so brief
Connie was on me ed. The cop was in a million shows including Patty Duke dad. Philip Carey made a ton of movies, was also in a series called Laredo and was Asa Buchanan on the soap opera “ One Life To Live” for almost 30 years. And Jack Weston was in a ton of shows and movies too!
@@pembrokejones3969 And, if you look closely (and quickly), in the scene at the police station in which Mr. Mitchell (Malcom Atterbury) is being questioned, you'll see Robert B. Williams as Sam, a police officer. He played many police officers and police detectives over the years in many movies and TV shows - most of the time uncredited. A familiar face - and now you have a name to put to it next time you see him on the screen.
If anybody give me the full episode of this TV series I probably would give that person one of my kidneys. After reading all the novels about Philip Marlowe, I have to admit that this Marlowe does not highly resemble the one in the novel, but somehow he is my favorite one (not counting Humphrey Bogart who only played Marlowe in one movie). I have looked over the internet, but just could not find the rest episodes, and it also seems impossible to buy a DVD, could any one tell me a possible way to get the rest of this series?(Sorry for my poor English)(Also, thank you very much for uploading this video, ChiTownView)
All the episodes besides the two I've posted may have been destroyed before the advent of video. Do a save search on Ebay and if anything pops up they'll let you know. Thanks for watching wish I could help you I have a friend that could really use that kidney.
@@hipchecker2063 Yes, I saw some of the original broadcasts (1991?). He was excellent, perfect in that role, really! He passed away in 2017. RIP, Powers, you will not be forgotten.
Weston specialized in playing roles like that, i.e., quirky characters of uncertain vintage, eccentrics, somewhat arrested development, simple minded, downtrodden, marginal, borderline mentally retarded (an episode of The Fugitive). He was very good in those roles.
I don't know, this Philip Matlowe is so strange and dark to me. I am used to the radio shows with Gerald Mohr playing Marlowe. Mohr's Marlowe has a sharp wit, dark humor, and actually cared for his clients. He was a people person, easy to get along with no matter what a person's social status was. This tv version is a dark and bitter. The tv actor barely smiles or even laughs. I guess I need to adjust to the tv version. Thank for the episodes 😃
The similarity between Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe and this typical late fifties/early sixties detective TV show goes no further than the character's name. The problem isn't just in the characterization, it's in the writing, especially the dialogue. It lacks all the wit of Chandler's stories. Too bad. Some colorful Chandleresque dialogue would have made this a standout show for it's time.
Agreed. Kind of want to like it, would have like more if Carey was just playing another named character. (similar problem with Darren McGavin's Mike Hammer TV).
He went boozing his way downhill after his wife died: he was lucky not to have seen the rip-off t.v. travesties of his Marlowe character such as this one.
I love this kind of stagey acting. Some of the performers are used to film, the others slightly overact as if they're on stage for the benefit of a few rows back.
Yeah but also people were more tightly wound and formal and upright, putting on an exterior. That 1950’s cultural quirk came out in their acting techniques, too, possibly? I am not sure. 🤔
I rather suspect that most of the 26 episodes of this show which aired originally on ABC in the 1959-1960 are "deader than vaudeville." Either the kinescopes deteriorated beyond reclamation or, like many, many shows of that period, the videotapes of the episodes were "wiped" by the network to be re-used episodes of other, newer series.
This show had potential but it’s missing something. Maybe a little better writing would do the trick. Some of the acting is weak too. But it’s still entertaining.
You gotta love these old shows. He goes outside, climbs into his 1959 Ford Galaxy while the narration goes " Two drinks later I was on my way " Very real to life.
Great show. I love private detective stories, mysteries & crimes.
Indubidubly 🙂

Excellent choice for Marlowe. 9 minute hard boiled egg with that cicatrice across the cheek. Excellent.
Did you think that Scar was a little over the top? I also thought Phil Carey was a little too tall. He towered over everybody. Other than that, he was a perfect choice
@@dttruman ...6'4" of bone & muscle - certainly conveyed the impression he could handle himself in the situations he found himself in...
@@geoffwright2845 He looked like he could handle himself, but that scare was way too much and they had to work the camera shots by having him sit on something or having him back a step or two to make him look shorter. from (6:02- 6:30 or 18:30-18:55). Other than that he had that scruffy voice too, that gave him that tough persona.
This was produced by Goodson and Todman. I always thought they did nothing but gameshows until I saw this.
In addition to their game and panel shows {'WHAT'S MY LINE?", I'VE GOT A SECRET", "THE PRICE IS RIGHT", "TO TELL THE TRUTH", et. al.}, Mark and Bill {"Bilmar"} also produced this series in prime-time, as well as 'THE REBEL" that season.

The wife was a cool character.!!!!!!😅
My favorite was Peter Gunn.
I've seen several of Betsey Jones - Moreland's films. Glad I found this. Always thought she was sooooo attractive.
As in so many of Chandler's stories, the murder was done by a Woman.
Cf. "The Little Sister," as an example.
This is so interesting. Thank you so much. Yes, I agree, he makes a really good Marlowe. I wonder what happened to all these actors? All melted away. Stardom is so brief
Connie was on me ed. The cop was in a million shows including Patty Duke dad. Philip Carey made a ton of movies, was also in a series called Laredo and was Asa Buchanan on the soap opera “ One Life To Live” for almost 30 years. And Jack Weston was in a ton of shows and movies too!
@@pembrokejones3969 And, if you look closely (and quickly), in the scene at the police station in which Mr. Mitchell (Malcom Atterbury) is being questioned, you'll see Robert B. Williams as Sam, a police officer. He played many police officers and police detectives over the years in many movies and TV shows - most of the time uncredited. A familiar face - and now you have a name to put to it next time you see him on the screen.
Hey that's Patty Duke's father
hey the lovesick young lady is Connie Hines....Wilburs wife on Mr.Ed...and thank you.
If anybody give me the full episode of this TV series I probably would give that person one of my kidneys. After reading all the novels about Philip Marlowe, I have to admit that this Marlowe does not highly resemble the one in the novel, but somehow he is my favorite one (not counting Humphrey Bogart who only played Marlowe in one movie). I have looked over the internet, but just could not find the rest episodes, and it also seems impossible to buy a DVD, could any one tell me a possible way to get the rest of this series?(Sorry for my poor English)(Also, thank you very much for uploading this video, ChiTownView)
All the episodes besides the two I've posted may have been destroyed before the advent of video. Do a save search on Ebay and if anything pops up they'll let you know. Thanks for watching wish I could help you I have a friend that could really use that kidney.
OK now I see that the kidney thing I said wasn't really a wise exaggeration. Thanks for the advice and best wishes for your friend.
@@lotekicho2463 that's ok it was just an interesting coincidence.
Are you aware of Powers Boothe's Marlowe?
@@hipchecker2063 Yes, I saw some of the original broadcasts (1991?). He was excellent, perfect in that role, really! He passed away in 2017. RIP, Powers, you will not be forgotten.
Jack Weston who Marlowe refers to as the boy Artie was 35 years old when this was made.
Weston specialized in playing roles like that, i.e., quirky characters of uncertain vintage, eccentrics, somewhat arrested development, simple minded, downtrodden, marginal, borderline mentally retarded (an episode of The Fugitive). He was very good in those roles.
It IS. It's "Christine" Fury...

I knew this was going to be a good episode when I saw that Franklin Milton was the recording supervisor.🙄
i thought he made a good marlowe
Yep. Very good at dead pan delivery. One of the best I've ever seen, in fact.
I don't know, this Philip Matlowe is so strange and dark to me.
I am used to the radio shows with Gerald Mohr playing Marlowe. Mohr's Marlowe has a sharp wit, dark humor, and actually cared for his clients. He was a people person, easy to get along with no matter what a person's social status was.
This tv version is a dark and bitter. The tv actor barely smiles or even laughs.
I guess I need to adjust to the tv version.
Thank for the episodes 😃
Is there anything William Schallert wasn’t in?
No
What happened to Philip Marlowe's face?
He rested his chin too long on a hatchet.
Artie Wells is resort owner frm Dirty Dancing
Also "Sergeant" Carlino in the 1967 movie version of Frederick Knott's play "Wait Until Dark."
William Schallert and Jack Weston -- ages ago.
Yet both hardly changed over the decades. Always recognizable
The similarity between Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe and this typical late fifties/early sixties detective TV show goes no further than the character's name. The problem isn't just in the characterization, it's in the writing, especially the dialogue. It lacks all the wit of Chandler's stories. Too bad. Some colorful Chandleresque dialogue would have made this a standout show for it's time.
Agreed. Kind of want to like it, would have like more if Carey was just playing another named character. (similar problem with Darren McGavin's Mike Hammer TV).
Writer/producer Gene Wang previously wrote for "PERRY MASON", and later worked on Peter Falk's "THE TRIALS OF O'BRIEN" (1965-'66).
Raymond Chandler died in 1959...this may have been what killed him.
He went boozing his way downhill after his wife died: he was lucky not to have seen the rip-off t.v. travesties of his Marlowe character such as this one.
I love this kind of stagey acting. Some of the performers are used to film, the others slightly overact as if they're on stage for the benefit of a few rows back.
Yeah but also people were more tightly wound and formal and upright, putting on an exterior. That 1950’s cultural quirk came out in their acting techniques, too, possibly? I am not sure. 🤔
@@Mister_Listener Could be right. I do like it.
@@dionlindsay2 yes i like it too. Fun to compare it to how we are today with no judgment. A lot has changed for the better, i think.
I have watched 2 episodes of OCCASIONAL WIFE and i guess that is why YT recommended this? Who’s the dame in the thumbnail who gets slapped?
Betsy Jones Moreland
Par Excellente
Gave it a 7 on IMDB. Does anyone know where the rest of these can be found?
I rather suspect that most of the 26 episodes of this show which aired originally on ABC in the 1959-1960 are "deader than vaudeville." Either the kinescopes deteriorated beyond reclamation or, like many, many shows of that period, the videotapes of the episodes were "wiped" by the network to be re-used episodes of other, newer series.
is it me or is Marlowe a giant? his head is huge
6'4"... big, certainly.....not a giant. I think most of the cast were fairly short.
@@geoffwright2845 Yeah but the camera angles make it more so in a lot of the scenes, as some of them it isn't as bad
@@geoffwright2845 Agree, tall, slim and handsome. Most of the other actors were short.
The wife has the biggest head of all.
Wow, he had a couple of handy guns, in the glove compartment, I've only got tissues in mine. hahahhaha
Choo!
Gesundheit. Not necessa.ry to type out your presneeze noises.
Sorry the above comment should be for “Farewell My Lovely”, not this television episode.
This show had potential but it’s missing something. Maybe a little better writing would do the trick. Some of the acting is weak too.
But it’s still entertaining.
i love how folks want to go back to the good old days when everyone was so moral. lol
Is that a Plymouth Fury?
Holy smokes...not one mention of LGBTRSAWQDx3 or other "diverse" people....
2 drinks later and he`s ready to hit the road?
It was the 50's people had higher tolerance. Thanks for watching Barry,
The camera thinks his face is the only one it'll ever require .
bruise back of her head found face down and nowhere near the gas appliance obviously an accident.
