Philip Marlowe "The Birds on the Wing" 11/26/49
Old time Radio Noir Crime Drama Gerald Mohr
The Adventures of Philip Marlowe came to Radio in the Summer of 1947 as a Pepsodent Program replacement for their wildly popular show starring Bob Hope and his ensemble. Both CBS and Pepsodent promoted the first nine programs to the maximum extent. In all likelihood as much to promote Van Heflin himself, as to keep The Pepsodent Program's time slot nice and cozy for Bob Hope's return in The Fall of 1947. Indeed, the fact that Van Heflin got far greater billing than Raymond Chandler himself, demonstrates the relative celebrity of the two diverse talents for their time.

Thx to everyone for the support! : ) I am working hard behind the scenes searching for more vintage high quality material to post! I have recently monetized this channel with "fan funding" which will help in my efforts to add more pre-50's entertainment and content on a regular basis!

This episode is unique in the series for breaking the fourth wall and the character actually reading a novel in which he is the main character. Gerald Mohr was born to play this role on radio. Perfect. Just the right amount of sarcasm, jadedness and in spite of that, eternal hope for humankind and right to win in the end.
