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.
Thanks for watching Charlie
Wow. Great. I was 9 years old when this episode was broadcast. Pretty certain my dad and I watched it together.
Great show. I love private detective stories, mysteries & crimes.
Indubidubly 🙂
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!
Jack Weston was buried at the end of the cast. Loved him in, Wait until Dark.
I love the Old time radio series, this iwas new to me. Ty
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.
Patty Duke's daddy hanging with the incredible Mr. Limpet brother in law, chillaxin with Ace-uh. 😃
If Marlowe is looking familiar .. He played Asa Buchanan on One Life to Live. Quite handsome in his youth and matured.
Betsy Jones Moreland was beautiful. She did a lot of TV shows.
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!
Originally telecast on March 8, 1960.
Thank you for the date.
Great show with a great actor playing Philip Marlowe
Wow..didnt know this show existed...why are these kinda shows not shown..anymore ..
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.
Thank you so much for posting this. I hope that more episodes can be found.
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.
Lee Savin producer of The TAMI Show a rock & soul film with a great lineup.
A fine cross between Guy Noir and Dragnet. Nostalgic and fun.
Lots of action in a quick -26 minutes. Thanks CTV.
straight forward and strait to the point. 👍🏼
TY for the upload, an excellent pocket sized drama. Carey made a fine Marlowe :-)
Thanks for watching Chris. We have posted another episode from this series. th-cam.com/video/kRZRdAJqwMc/w-d-xo.html
A very good episode of "Philip Marlowe" with Philip Carey.
Good show for its time
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"
A little gem of a find
7:25 "Oh, speaking of heels..." "That's the kinda thing that killed vaudeville."
Love this moment. Chandler would be proud. 🕵️
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.
I just watched an unrelated but similar old show, "Files of Jeffrey Jones "Murder at Home"", with a Frank Marlowe in the cast ;)
Love those antique cars!
Just "yesterday," not so "antique."
The girl is completely nuts. .lol😂Great series Thanks!
Thanks for watching.
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.
Thanks for watching John.
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.
Phillip Carey was the man 👍👍
Beautiful cars and gorgeous broads!
Awesome
Thanks!
It looks like a lot of these actors were on episodes of Perry Mason, which by the way Gene Wang was part of.
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.
Good acting back then . Now we have wimps for 2021 .
It's ok to appreciate the past without insulting the present 😉
@@betsya7054exactly
Wimps 🎉😂

phillip carey underrated actor
Just subscribed. From Keene, NH USA ~ I love that you put an actual description in the description box. tanks bunches.
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
ChiTownView Oh, tanks bunches for the link. Crime Noir is really my very favorite. Good site.
Best Marlowe ever was Dick Powell in 1944 Murder My Sweet. Just spot on!
Several years later Phil Carey was in another series Laredo, but many soap opera fans would know him as Asa Buchanan on One Life To Live .
And in All In The Family he had a memorable role in an episode where he plays an ex football player friend of Archie's who he discovers is gay.
EXCELLENT SHOW...MARLOWE IS COOL..
Please post more episodes of this show if you have them, I love Phil Carey in this role.
Carole I would if I could but the two I've posted are all that's available now. I do have a nice collection of vintage noir films and TV shows on my web site, here's a link;mindsimedia.info/Crime%20Scene/CS%20index.html#.WfZE1WiPKUl

As in so many of Chandler's stories, the murder was done by a Woman.
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.
Thanks for watching and your insightful comments.
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.
I know. Chandler just didn't write enough novels.
...Back then, it was okay to slap a broad, particularly if it was your wife, Marlowe probably thought she deserved it! Great casting, by the way...
Thank you🌟
19:35 "You love me, remember?"
Thank you very much and thanks for watching I have a page on my web site with a similar films and TV shows. mindsimedia.info/Crime%20Scene/index.html#.V9qzd5grKUk
Thanks heaps for the share :) keep up the fine work.
Jack Weston who Marlowe refers to as the boy Artie was 35 years old when this was made.
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.
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?
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.
@@fromthesidelines And Brandedd.
I've seen several of Betsey Jones - Moreland's films. Glad I found this. Always thought she was sooooo attractive.
Always loved Phil (Asa Buchanan) Carey....
Par Excellente
William Schallert and Jack Weston -- ages ago.
dobie gillis' sarcastic teacher
Is there anything William Schallert wasn’t in?
No
5:06 For some reason "Artie" (Jack Weston) always reminds me of "Joe" (Joe Besser) from the Three Stooges.
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
He said 2 drinks later I was ready to hit the road again….
It IS. It's "Christine" Fury...
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 😃
i thought he made a good marlowe
Yep. Very good at dead pan delivery. One of the best I've ever seen, in fact.
Real work of calculative Fe Iron Ian Suneeeil
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.
who can say NO....to phillip marlow.....sounds like a ciggarette.
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
Wow, he had a couple of handy guns, in the glove compartment, I've only got tissues in mine. hahahhaha
Gave it a 7 on IMDB. Does anyone know where the rest of these can be found?
Hmm, what did happen to Lydias' corpse? Necrophila?
Sorry the above comment should be for “Farewell My Lovely”, not this television episode.
Where did the girls body go?
Is that a Plymouth Fury?
Oooooooooh if looks could kill...11:18
“Death Is Terminal” had a fatal plot and a terrible ending.
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).
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
The camera thinks his face is the only one it'll ever require .
i love how folks want to go back to the good old days when everyone was so moral. lol
bruise back of her head found face down and nowhere near the gas appliance obviously an accident.
y pa cuando en español?
What’s that thing on his cheek? A hair from his last haircut glued into place?
My best guess is that it was an injury, a cut, which he sported for a few episodes of this show.
It appears that TH-cam removed an earlier comment of mine as “hate speech”, which had absolutely nothing to do with hate speech, which was speculating on the nature of his injury.
😮
Asa Buchanan 😂
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.
Private I's one-liners with women still make me wince. But it was then and this is now😊
Watching this after 2 years. At that time it was I'll to the papers, today it will be I 'll go to TH-cam, Facebook Twitter Instagram, let the whole world know ' he done me wrong.' With videos and selfies and accidentally leaked tapes. High grade neurotics. In the 60s,and still needy and gullible In the 20s.
Terrible combing on this cap! Inverse telecine should have reconstructed the original ntsc film pretty damn straightforwardly.
The effort is appreciated though, these are fairly difficult to come by.
Dang the wife was HAWT
Yes indeed!
The actress playing Gilbert's wifec re³sembled a more-handsome Doris Duke (the millionairess who got away with it)
Not bad. But not Raymond Chandler either. What's with the scar that's not explained? Previous episode? Who's paying Marlowe to snoop around? Phil Carey is a too well-dressed and lacking a certain cynical weariness to be entirely believable. I'd still watch another one...
yo
"Im a man!".
I just can’t stand the casualness of dialogue about murdering her husband
What a stink bomb.
3:38 was all I could stand
OMG some of the acting is appalling 😂😂
Not much Marlowe flavor here.
